US News Said UMA as A National Leader in Educating Veterans (Online University) - For the 2nd year in a row U.S. News & World Reports has selected UMA (Uniersity of Maine of Augusta) in its national ranking of universities that have the Best Online Bachelor's Programs for Veterans. UMA is the only university in Maine that was ranked in the list.
In recent years, UMA has gained much national recognition for its excellent support of veterans and military personnel. GI Jobs Magazine has named UMA in its Military Friendly Schools list for the past five years, Military Times has listed UMA as a Best for Vets College for the past three years, and Military Advanced Education has ranked UMA as a Top College and University for the past two years.
The U.S. News & World Reports’ rankings are based on statistical data gathered from their ranking of the 2015 Best Online Bachelor’s Programs, which UMA was ranked in earlier this year. From that list, universities qualify for the 2015 Best Online Bachelor’s Programs for Veterans by offering several other veterans-focused benefits. See the methodology for the veterans ranking here.
Among the support UMA offers veterans includes a peer mentor program, veteran’s lounges, and a Military and Veteran Affairs Advisory Council of UMA staff, faculty, alumni and community members that are dedicated to helping veteran students transition into a college career. In addition, UMA's admissions and advising staff, many of whom are veterans themselves, are trained to help veteran and military students translate specialized military credit and/or other previously earned credits into a college major at UMA.
Since its doors opened in 1965, UMA has welcomed veterans and has continued to experience an increase in veteran graduates and students over the years; in fact, UMA currently has the highest percentage of student-veterans in the University of Maine System.
UMA offers top-quality, career-focused online degrees in Applied Science, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, Information and Library Services, Justice Studies, Liberal Studies, Mental Health and Human Services, Public Administration, and Social Sciences.
