缅因大学简介:
缅因大学(University of Maine),位于美国缅因州的奥罗诺市,是缅因大学系统的旗舰学校,但一般只称缅因大学,不带“奥罗诺分校”字样。缅因大学是缅因州最大的学校,也是该州唯一的一所被卡耐基高等教育研究机构归类为研究型大学的学校。
学校历史
缅因大学成立于1865年,系根据美国莫里安联邦赠地法案建立的,初名“缅因农机艺术学院(Maine College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts)”,1868年正式授课,1897年改为现名。1871年前,缅因大学只设有农业、土木工程和机械工程三个专业以及其它的一些选修课。1887年成立了农业与林业科学学部。再往后,学校逐渐发展设立了生命科学与农业学院,工程与科学学院、以及文理学院。1912年,学校开始开设一些成人教育以及延伸教育项目,1930年正式设立教育学院(School),1958年教育学院正式获得“College”的地位。1958年,商学院正式建立,1965年获得“College”地位。缅因大学1872年起即开始全面招收女学生,1881年颁发了第一个硕士学位,1923年即成立了独立的研究生院,1960年颁发了第一个博士学位。
学校环境
缅因州位处美国最东北端,北接加拿大,西临大西洋,属温带海洋性气候,冬季漫长多雪,夏季温暖宜人。缅因大学坐落于缅因州马什岛(Marsh Island)上,佩诺斯科特河(Penobscot)和静水河(Stillwater)之间。缅因大学也是美国唯一的一所坐落在一个小岛上的联邦赠地大学(Land Grant University)。
学校所在的奥罗诺是一个人口不足10,000的小镇,校园总面积2.2平方公里,学生总人数约1.1万人。拥有37栋学术建筑,30栋行政建筑,以及18栋学生宿舍,18座专门实验室,14个学生活动中心,10座体育场,以及5座博物馆,4个学生食堂,2个购物中心,1个学生联盟,1个咖啡馆,1个俱乐部,外加一个占地8,100平方米的休闲与健身中心和1个占地4万平米的天然氧吧。
