They’re pretty great as far as I know! It was a little while ago but I did the first part of my degree split between UMPI and a satellite campus. Zero complaints about USM staff and admissions. Had great experiences with them my whole college career. That being said, UMPI is a small campus in a fairly remote area. Presque Isle is definitely on the small side of small city and it doesn’t have a ton going on if you’re into that (at least that’s how it was in my recollection). If you don’t mind that I think it’s a pretty nice campus and a decent school!

Very cool. Thanks for your reply!

I’m guessing UMPI is historically a commuter school that most students would transfer out of or get their associates and move on?

The programs look like liberal arts with an ag/medical/criminal justice/business lean.

Accounting.

They don't have accounting in California?

They don't have degree completion in accounting, otherwise I'd do it.

There are only two schools in the USA that don't require 30-60 hours of in-residence (via the school) degree learning: UMPI or Thomas Edison State University.
