Early College Opportunities
University College offers two programs designed to encourage high school students to experience college in their junior and senior years: ACE (sponsored by the Mitchell Institute) and Aspirations (sponsored by the Maine Department of Education).
ACE was created for students who haven’t shown much interest in college but who, given the opportunity, might enjoy and benefit from the college experience. Aspirations was made for college-bound students eager to get started in their college careers. Both programs allow students to apply the college credits they earn in the program to a high school diploma as well as a college degree. And both allow students to enroll in interactive television (ITV), videoconference courses, and courses taught on-site at University College centers.
