For thousands of Maine people who cannot pursue studies on a campus, success starts at University College.
Part of the University of Maine System, University College offers access to courses and certificate and degree programs from the seven universities at more than 100 locations and receive sites across Maine and on the World Wide Web. More than four thousand Maine people take courses and work toward degrees at University College outreach Centers and receive sites each semester.
Students who choose to take classes at University College typically are older than the traditional college population. They have a strong desire to improve their lives by going to college, but often are place-bound by employment and family responsibilities. University College was created to turn their aspirations into achievable goals.
Courses and Degrees
At 10 University College Centers, students choose from more than 200 courses taught by faculty on-site, via interactive television; and through online instruction.
University College also offers courses at more than 100 receive sites. Located largely in high schools throughout Maine, these sites allow students to take any of the 180 university courses offered over interactive television and the Web each semester. A site coordinator monitors classrooms, collects and distributes materials, proctors exams and records class tapes for review.
At both University College Centers and receive sites, students can work toward one of the 20 degree or 16 certificate programs offered at a distance by the University of Maine System campuses.
University College offers access to quality public higher education statewide. Courses are offered on-site, via interactive television (ITV), or online at 10 University College Centers. You also can participate in ITV and online courses at community course sites throughout Maine.
