University of Maine at Augusta Top Questions

I was an off-campus, out-of-state student and my degree was distance learning based. This was excellent for me, because I work full-time and take classes on a part-time basis. This school is very flexible, friendly and student oriented. It was the best undergraduate experience for me and I cannot recommend their online degree programs highly enough.
