緬因大學簡介:
緬因大學(University of Maine),位于美國緬因州的奧羅諾市,是緬因大學系統的旗艦學校,但一般只稱緬因大學,不帶“奧羅諾分校”字樣。緬因大學是緬因州最大的學校,也是該州唯一的一所被卡耐基高等教育研究機構歸類為研究型大學的學校。
學校歷史
緬因大學成立于1865年,系根據美國莫里安聯邦贈地法案建立的,初名“緬因農機藝術學院(Maine College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts)”,1868年正式授課,1897年改為現名。1871年前,緬因大學只設有農業、土木工程和機械工程三個專業以及其它的一些選修課。1887年成立了農業與林業科學學部。再往后,學校逐漸發展設立了生命科學與農業學院,工程與科學學院、以及文理學院。1912年,學校開始開設一些成人教育以及延伸教育項目,1930年正式設立教育學院(School),1958年教育學院正式獲得“College”的地位。1958年,商學院正式建立,1965年獲得“College”地位。緬因大學1872年起即開始全面招收女學生,1881年頒發了第一個碩士學位,1923年即成立了獨立的研究生院,1960年頒發了第一個博士學位。
學校環境
緬因州位處美國最東北端,北接加拿大,西臨大西洋,屬溫帶海洋性氣候,冬季漫長多雪,夏季溫暖宜人。緬因大學坐落于緬因州馬什島(Marsh Island)上,佩諾斯科特河(Penobscot)和靜水河(Stillwater)之間。緬因大學也是美國唯一的一所坐落在一個小島上的聯邦贈地大學(Land Grant University)。
學校所在的奧羅諾是一個人口不足10,000的小鎮,校園總面積2.2平方公里,學生總人數約1.1萬人。擁有37棟學術建筑,30棟行政建筑,以及18棟學生宿舍,18座專門實驗室,14個學生活動中心,10座體育場,以及5座博物館,4個學生食堂,2個購物中心,1個學生聯盟,1個咖啡館,1個俱樂部,外加一個占地8,100平方米的休閑與健身中心和1個占地4萬平米的天然氧吧。
