Many programs at UTC offer opportunities for concurrent enrollment early college credits, meaning you can earn college credit for the work you do here at UTC! In some programs, motivated students can combine concurrent enrollment courses with independent early college courses to capitalize on college pathways opportunities.

Please note that beginning with the class of 2027, students will have a lifetime max of 18 free early college credits through the University of Maine System (UMS) and Maine Community College Systems (MCCS) combined. Students who are enrolled in CTE pathway may qualify for and additional 6 free early college credits through the MCCS.

All early college enrollment and free/reduced college credits are determined by the college systems and may change at any time. Please refer to the Early College Resources for the most up-to-date information.

Through agreements with Eastern Maine Community College and Washington Community College, students in our Business Leadership and Medical Assisting Programs may pursue a college certificate. While a majority of the courses required for these pathways are taken through the UTC Program, there are college courses that students will need to take through their agreements at their high school, or directly through the college. Please see the Early College Resources to determine credit allowances and costs.

Students who wish to challenge themselves may pursue courses to work towards higher credentials. The number of early college courses that each student may take will be determined by the UMS and MCCS. Students may also pursue courses through Husson University's Early College Access Program (ECAP).

Students should check with their desired post-secondary instituation about transferrability of credits.
