Launched in 2022, the Machias Nursing program enables students to complete the standard two-semester sequence at UMaine Machias. Once they complete those semesters and satisfy the state\u2019s nursing education progression standards, they may move directly into the bachelor of science in nursing degree program in Orono at the University of Maine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\"]{margin-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\"]{padding-right:50px;padding-left:50px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\"]{padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;text-align:left!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading193_006cec-e8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-black-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading193_006cec-e8\" data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-duration=\"1200\" data-aos-once=\"true\">Launched in 2024, the Downeast Nursing track will allow UMaine Machias students residing on campus or in the region to earn a four-year nursing degree from UMA while conducting nearly all of their studies on the Machias campus or online. Given the deliberate structure of coursework, participating students will earn two fully accredited four-year degrees simultaneously: a bachelor of nursing degree from UMA and a bachelor of college studies degree from UMaine Machias.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id193_900cf9-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id193_900cf9-e1 >
