Applying
to the program
Applicants must be high school graduates
or equivalent (e.g. G.E.D.), and they must have completed at least 18
credit hours at the University of Maine or through acceptable transfer
credits from accredited post-secondary institutions. These courses must be
approved by a University Studies advisor, and show a minimum grade average
of a "C" (2.0) or better. All applicants are expected to
participate in an interview with a University Studies advisor to discuss
their educational goals and plan their programs of study. High school
transcripts and college transcripts should be available at the initial
interview for evaluation purposes. Once the interview and 18 credit hours
have been completed, the student will draft the degree plan and will submit
an undergraduate admissions form to the University
of Maine. Further guidelines
for application are available through the Continuing Education Division and
Summer Session. The student will be admitted only if his or her educational
needs can be met by the scope of the courses offered through the Continuing
Education Division.
The Bachelor of University Studies Degree at a distance
In addition to courses offered on the University
of Maine campus and live at
numerous locations throughout Maine;
students may also enroll in courses on ITV, compressed video, or the Web.
When taking courses at a distance, students must submit a
"Multi-campus Notification Form" at time of registration and
forward a grade transcript to the academic advisor for evaluation at the
end of the semester.
Each student is encouraged to arrange telephone appointments prior to
registration for academic approval. Advisors are available to the student
anytime during the semester to answer academic questions.

The University Studies program allowed me flexibility
and room for growth that no other University
of Maine program could. I am
not a number or a statistic, I am a real person and I am treated that
way. The program capitalizes on my strengths and interests while
minimizing trouble areas. The program increases self-esteem and
confidence, and allows the non-traditional student to realize their
dreams.
