Early College in the News
“Early College at UMaine was a valuable opportunity to advance my education and gain insight into how college classes compare to high school classes. I feel lucky to have been told about the program, and I plan to take more Early College classes later in my high school career.” – Liam
“The connections I have built with my professors and the knowledge I have gained within this year of Early College has primed me as a student, human being, and forever learner. These programs provide families of lower-income students with great passion and schools of interest with life-changing and barrier-breaking opportunities.” – Sophie
