Summer 2026 is Underway
The UMA Summer Online 2026 semester has officially begun.
Thank you to everyone joining us this semester. To our students and Summer 2026 Scholars, thank you for choosing to learn with us and for bringing your creativity, curiosity, and unique perspectives into the classroom.
We're also deeply grateful to our students and instructors who have shared their experiences with UMA. By telling their stories, they're helping others get a genuine look at what it's like to learn, create, and grow within our community.
Finally, we’d like to thank our sponsors, partners, and friends of the UMA community who help make these opportunities possible semester after semester. While we do everything we can to support our artists, a lot of what we're able to offer is made possible through the generosity of people and organizations who choose to support this work, including some who have reached out to us on their own to find ways to help.
Thank you for extending these opportunities to our artists and for continuing to invest in the community around UMA.
