School Details
The 102nd Maine Legislature in 1965 established the University of Maine at Augusta as a community-based institution offering associate degrees under the auspices of the University of Maine at Orono. In 1971 UMA became an autonomous institution, the seventh campus of the University of Maine System. UMA-Augusta is dedicated to transforming students’ lives through its teaching, research, and outreach mission. It ensures that students have the tools to not just succeed but also excel.
With an open enrollment policy, UMA offers associate’s and bachelor’s degrees, and professional certificates. Certain degrees and certificates at all levels are available fully online. UMA online degrees are the latest in the distance education program at UMA. Beginning with courses broadcast via ITV, distance education has evolved into today’s highly interactive online courses. Online programs work to meet the needs of students and their varied approaches to learning. They allow all students to interact, engage, learn, and apply their learning regardless of where they study.
