🏛️ Your state's public flagship

University of Maine

96%
admit rate
$13,326
in-state tuition/yr · $36,756 out-of-state

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $17,510/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 573 in 2018 to 534 in 2022 — over 4 years.
-6.8%
Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of -1.7%/year, projecting from 2022's 534 students:

2023
525
2025
507
2027
489

≈ 45 fewer students by 2027 — a real revenue/relevance risk worth getting ahead of.

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue at risk

At tuition per student, the 45 students projected to be lost by 2027 represent ≈ $720,000/year in tuition at risk.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
