UMaine Machias, UMA partner to offer bachelor’s degree in nursing

Leaders of the University of Maine at Machias and the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) have signed a formal agreement enabling UMaine Machias students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing beginning next year.

Known as the Downeast Nursing track, the program will allow UMaine Machias students residing on campus or in the region to earn a four-year nursing degree from UMA while conducting nearly all of their studies on the Machias campus or online. Given the deliberate structure of coursework, participating students will earn two fully accredited four-year degrees simultaneously: a bachelor of nursing degree from UMA and a bachelor of college studies degree from UMaine Machias.
