Fall 2026 Has Begun
The UMA Fall Online 2026 semester is officially in session.
Welcome to everyone joining us this term. To our students and Fall 2026 Scholars, we’re so glad you chose to learn with us, and we can’t wait to see the ideas, energy, and fresh perspectives you’ll bring to every class.
A special thanks goes to the students and instructors who have shared their UMA journeys. Their stories give others an honest glimpse of what it means to learn, make, and thrive in our community.
We’re also deeply thankful to the sponsors, partners, and supporters who make these opportunities possible each semester. While we give our artists everything we can, so much of what we provide comes from the generosity of people and organizations who believe in what we do, including several who came to us unprompted, eager to lend a hand.
Thank you for creating opportunities for our artists and for continuing to support the community that surrounds UMA.
