University of Maine at Augusta Athletics

The University of Maine at Augusta competes in NAIA athletics, offering a mid-level sports experience between big-time Division I programs and recreational Division III play. Just 2.7% of the 2,759 students participate in varsity athletics across 12 sports programs. The Moose receive $64,880 in athletic scholarships to distribute among their 74 student-athletes. UMA joined the United States Collegiate Athletic Association in recent years as part of their athletic development. The athletic program remains modest in scope, reflecting the university's primary mission of serving working adults and non-traditional students who often balance sports with careers and family responsibilities. Most games draw small but supportive crowds from the Augusta community rather than generating the campus-wide enthusiasm found at larger universities.
