I was researching something and came across Board of Trustees Minutes dated Apr 2020 from University of Maine System that mentions a proposed
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Degree to be offered in the future at UMPI and via YourPace. Has anyone heard if that is coming anytime soon?
I will be applying to UMPI in a couple of weeks and wish that degree was available now.

The on campus program began in January 2021. The YourPace version has been rumored for awhile. We won't know until it's live on the website. There weren't any new degrees this fall unlike last year. They are working on moving from Strut to Brightspace so they probably won't add anything until the move is complete and the transition is stable.

I use Brightspace at my current community college, and I like it. Hopefully it will be a smooth transition for them.

Dean of YourPace Dr. Susan Chang was very nice and replied to my email inquiry.
"We do not have a concrete timetable for this program. Internally, both within the University of Maine at Presque Isle and the University of Maine System, conversations continue to assure the alignment between program and course goals and learning outcomes. As such, the earliest we might see a program go live might be Fall 2023."
So one more year the soonest
