offer a liberal studies program where you can
earn the first two years toward a baccalaureate

Liberal Studies/Transfer
Program
The liberal studies program at WCCC
offers a number of choices for students. If you
are not sure what degree to pursue, liberal studies
provides a college start. If you wish to transfer
after two years, liberal studies is an affordable
way to begin the college experience. If you have
a financial concern, the tuition at WCCC is very
affordable when liberal studies classes are offered
during the day, in the evening and online. Students
may take one or two courses or may enroll full-time.
With the AdvantageU
partnership, a student is first admitted into
the liberal studies program, and after successfully
earning an associate in arts degree at WCCC, is
guaranteed admission as a junior at the Maine
public university of his or her choice. For those
students enrolled in liberal studies who are pursuing
the transfer option, some things must be kept
in mind. Since some university programs have specific
program criteria and/or GPA requirements, the
student needs to work closely with his or her
advisor to make certain they meet the requirements
for the baccalaureate program they wish to attend.
In most cases, a bachelor’s degree can be
earned in two years at the selected university.
There is no university application fee for a transferring
student. It is important for the student to work
closely with the advisor early on to make certain
all requirements are met.
Career Programs
The career programs at WCCC offer
intensive instruction in 18 major areas of study,
with numerous one- and two-year options in those
programs. Many programs offer a choice of an associate
degree curriculum or a one-year certificate or
diploma.
WCCC’s career programs are geared to prepare
students to successfully obtain employment. Some
of the associate degree level programs also offer
the opportunity for transfer into baccalaureate
programs at four-year institutions.
WCCC students get hands-on learning from industry
professionals. Faculty are well known and respected
in their respective professions. Their familiarity
with the industry and its employers is invaluable.
