Cost Overview

Maine families with household incomes under $48,000 pay around $13,800 annually after aid, while those earning over $110,000 face $21,756 per year. Over four years, costs range from $55,200 to $87,024 depending on family income. The flagship university keeps expenses manageable for a research institution offering everything from Stephen King's beloved English program to top-tier marine sciences.

Graduates carry a median debt of $25,000, translating to monthly payments of $265. With median earnings hitting $48,653 within ten years, loan payments consume about 6.5% of typical graduate income. The 72% loan repayment rate reflects solid career outcomes. In-state students get the strongest value proposition, representing 57% of enrollment and paying less than the $35,346 out-of-state tuition. Low-income Maine residents score the best deal, accessing Division I athletics and nationally recognized engineering programs for about half the typical state university cost.
