Nursing Program
The Associate Degree Nursing Program at the University of Maine offers students the chance to earn an Associate Degree Nursing ADN and be able to obtain a Nursing student degree or an RN-BSN Bachelor’s degree in another two years or more. Lucky out-of-state residents might receive tuition fees that will help them manage the financial part of the program.
Successful completion of this program will allow the graduates to take the national licensure exam to become registered nurses (RN).

The UMA Responsible Admission Policy
Our first interest is in helping our students to succeed. Success demands that a student begins his or her college work with the proper preparation. To be admitted to UMA in a degree program, an applicant must have a high school diploma or must have earned a General Equivalency (GED) or High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) Diploma. Applicants should be able to demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics. Generally, we require students to have been in the upper 75% of their high school graduating class or receive comparable GED/HiSET scores.
For students in the lower 25% of their high school class (or the lower 25th percentile of GED/HiSET test scores), UMA requires pre-admission testing. All other students without college experience take placement tests after admission but before registering for classes. These tests in reading, writing, and mathematics help new students understand where they can best start their new course of study.

Many students will find their skills are already adequate for UMA’s academic demands and will begin their studies without developmental courses in their schedules. Some students may need an opportunity to review their skills in reading, writing, and/or mathematics. These students will take the appropriate UMA developmental course or courses. Some students might need more intensive work on their skills. These students will be referred to their local adult education program.
Students needing adult education work on a single skill will be offered admission to the University of Maine at Augusta. Applicants who need two or more adult education classes are not offered admission and will be referred to their local adult education program. The University will encourage these students to retake our placement tests after completing their adult education work.
