History
[edit]In 1995, the University of Maine System Board of Trustees added UMA Bangor to UMA. Founded in 1970 as the South Campus of the University of Maine at Orono, it later became Bangor Community College (not to be confused with EMCC), one of the colleges of the University of Maine at Orono. In 1985, it was renamed University College. In 1995, the Board of Trustees affiliated the Bangor campus with Augusta and Lewiston-Auburn; at the same time the Board also reaffirmed UMA’s role as a provider of selected baccalaureate programs in the Central Maine and Mid-Coast region.[1]
