Online Colleges in Maine
Maine is known for its seacoast, clam chowder, and lobster. Aside from these attributes and many others, Maine also has a substantial higher education system. Important parts of higher education in Maine include the University of Maine System, the Maine Community College System, and private institutions. Over the past two decades, higher education in Maine has evolved to include online education. Online colleges in Maine take a learner-focused approach, rather than an institution-focused approach, and distance learners must be self-disciplined and motivated to succeed in online courses, according to the Maine Department of Education.
Aside from Maine online colleges, colleges in Maine that have long been known for traditional education also offer online degrees and individual online courses. For instance, the University of Maine System offers distance learning through University College, essentially bringing the University of Maine online. Private institutions, including nonprofit and for-profit institutions, are also important providers of online higher education. In addition, the online colleges Maine has to offer include private, religious institutions like Saint Joseph’s College of Maine.
