CoA is a nice school but way over priced and from the people I know that went there, didn’t give them any kind of a leg up compared to other graduates. UNE is a good school but also very expensive. UMaine is well known for getting students hands on experience throughout their degree process. Honestly, what really sets one application apart from another after graduation is grades and hands on experience in and out of the classroom. Internships are everything in environmental sciences field. If you have any questions feel free to message me.
