Maine has a wide variety of community colleges, each offering different programs and opportunities. The Maine Community College System (MCCS) is the largest system of two-year public higher education institutions in the state, with seven campuses throughout Maine. These campuses offer associate degree, diploma, and certificate programs in fields such as healthcare, business administration, industrial technology and more. They also offer specialized training in areas such as welding, automotive technology, HVAC systems installation and repair, and computer information systems.

The MCCS also offers a range of transferable college credits that can be used to pursue a bachelor’s degree at one of Maine’s four-year colleges or universities. Additionally, many of the community colleges in Maine have agreements with local employers for internships and apprenticeships that allow students to gain valuable work experience while still earning college credit. These opportunities enable students to gain real-world experience while exploring potential career paths before committing to a full-time job or furthering their studies at a four-year institution.

In addition to traditional course offerings, many of the community colleges in Maine offer online courses for those who prefer to learn remotely from any location with an internet connection. These courses range from basic office skills to specialized information technology training. Some schools even provide specialized online degrees such as an Associate Degree in Applied Science or an Associate Degree in Business Administration which can be completed entirely online.
