³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ honored as CMCC Partner of the Year

The ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ was recently honored as the Central Maine Community College (CMCC) Partner of the Year for 2015. This recognition comes as a result of ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ’s assistance in providing curriculum development for CMCC’s new Life Science degree program.

The partnership between these two institutions will give CMCC students expanded opportunities for education as they will be able to apply all credits from the Life Science program toward the degree of their choosing. Degree programs include: Animal Behavior; Biology; Medical Biology; Aquaculture; Aquarium Science; Marine Biology; Oceanography; Ocean Studies and Marine Affairs; Biochemistry and Neuroscience. Students will also be able to pursue pre-med, pre-veterinary and pre-dental tracks.

Discussions are currently underway to expand this agreement to ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ’s Westbrook College of Health Professions in the following areas: Nursing; Dental Hygiene; Athletic Training; Applied Exercise Science; Health, Wellness and Occupational Studies; and Public Health.
