flag Maine’s public universities unite for first time in decades, launching joint programs to boost access, cut costs, and strengthen the workforce.

flag Maine’s public universities are collaborating for the first time in decades to expand access to higher education and address workforce needs. flag Backed by a $320 million challenge grant and unified accreditation, the University of Maine System is launching joint programs like Downeast Nursing, allied dental education, and online competency-based degrees in tourism and law. flag These initiatives allow students in rural areas to earn degrees locally, helping the system achieve seven consecutive semesters of enrollment growth despite national declines. flag By sharing resources and reducing costs, the collaboration aims to make higher education more affordable and accessible while strengthening Maine’s economy.
