Dual Enrollment

Under a Partnership Agreement with the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI), MSSM students may receive college credit for many of their MSSM classes. This is an extraordinary opportunity for MSSM students to start receiving credits for college before they graduate high school. Some MSSM students are even able to earn an Associate’s Degree before they graduate MSSM. An MSSM student who wishes to receive UMPI credit for an MSSM course must be matriculated and deemed eligible for any relevant coursework according to MSSM's placement procedures. 

Students interested in pursuing a dual degree work with their advisor and the MSSM College Counselor to develop a plan that will specify the courses required to earn an Associate of Arts at UMPI and a diploma at MSSM. Students who have successfully completed all qualifications for the Science and Mathematics concentration within the Liberal Studies plan of study (minimum of 64 UMPI credit hours or their equivalent) shall receive an Associate of the Arts degree from UMPI.

The first 12 credit hours are offered free of charge. MSSM students who are matriculating in the UMPI Liberal Arts A.A. Program will be charged $70 per credit hour for credit hours over the 12 credit hours offered free, but only for courses outlined in the Liberal Arts A.A. Program agreement between UMPI and MSSM. Any courses taken outside of the UMPI Liberal Arts A.A. Program will be charged the Early College rate of $138.25 per credit hour.
