UMA is for students of every age and stage
Your student has already taken the first step with UMA. Now it’s your turn.
Your student is already earning college credits through UMA’s Early College program. Many parents and guardians decide to keep going by continuing their own education with UMA too.
We make it possible with flexible online and on-campus programs, affordable tuition, and one-on-one support from advisors who understand how to balance school, work, and family.
Through UMA’s Pay It Forward opportunity, parents and guardians of Early College students can take their first class for free. It’s our way of helping Maine families take the next step together.
“More than half of UMA students are adults who balance school with work and family.”
Jon Henry, VP Enrollment Marketing, UMA
