Bates College
Bates College, founded in 1855 by abolitionists, was one of the first colleges in the country to admit students without regard to race, gender, or religious affiliation from its very founding, reflecting the college's origins directly tied to the abolitionist movement in pre-Civil War New England. The college's distinctive short winter term, running for roughly a month between its fall and spring semesters, lets students pursue a single focused, often unconventional course or independent project, similar in spirit to the January-term calendars several other elite liberal arts colleges maintain. Bates does not require standardized test scores for admission, one of the earliest liberal arts colleges to adopt a test-optional policy, reflecting the college's continued institutional emphasis on holistic evaluation over standardized measures alone. The college's combination of its genuine founding-era commitment to inclusive admission, its distinctive short winter term, and its early adoption of test-optional admissions has made Bates one of the most institutionally progressive of the elite New England liberal arts colleges.
VS
Husson University
Husson University, founded in 1898, has built solid business, nursing, and pharmacy programs, and its location in Bangor, Maine's second-largest city, gives students access to a regional healthcare and business hub in the northern part of the state. The university's physical therapy and occupational therapy graduate programs have grown substantially in recent decades, reflecting Husson's broader expansion from its founding-era business school focus into a more comprehensive university offering health professions degrees. Husson's relatively accessible admissions profile and its career-focused curriculum have made it a popular choice for Maine students seeking practical professional degree programs without the more intense academic selectivity of the state's elite liberal arts colleges. The university's combination of its founding business education roots and its expanded health professions offerings has made Husson a distinctive regional choice within Maine's higher education system, particularly for students in the state's less densely populated northern and eastern regions.
