Why it’s a Good Idea
Experience a streamlined transfer process from EMCC to a Maine Public University

•Transfer to the University with junior standing

• Receive early advising toward your University major

• No University application fee

How the AdvantageU Program Works

•You are first admitted into the Liberal Studies program at EMCC.

•Once you complete your Associate Degree in Liberal Studies, you are guaranteed admission as a junior at the Maine public university of your choice.

◦Since some university programs have specific criteria and/or grade point average (GPA) requirements for admission*, you should work closely with your Transfer Adviser to make sure you are meeting the requirements for the baccalaureate degree program you choose.

* The University of Maine requires a 2.5 GPA for guaranteed admission. The University of Maine at Farmington requires a 2.5 GPA minimum for some programs and is subject to an enrollment cap.
