Higher Education in Maine

Colleges in Maine

Colleges in MaineMaine is unique in so many ways! This is particularly true when one considers higher education. Maine has no department or commission of higher education or post-secondary education. Both the University of Maine System and the Maine Community College System are autonomous entities with all policy, procedures and administrative oversight vested in their respective boards of trustees. Similarly, Maine’s private higher education institutions are governed by their own oversight boards. State oversight of the activities of public and private schools, colleges, and universities primarily centers upon degree-granting authorizations, educator preparation program approvals and renewals, and private-for-profit proprietary school licensure. Maine is home to 15 public universities, community colleges, and 20 privately run institutions. There are 51 licensed technical schools within the state.

For more information in regard to specific questions the Maine Higher Education website has links to individual topics and schools.
