So, I'm from Maine and considering staying relatively close to home for college. Does anyone know of any military colleges in Maine? I would be really grateful for some info.
Sure, happy to help. One military college that's ripe in Maine is the Maine Maritime Academy (MMA). Famous for its strong focus on maritime training programs, it's a public college that also has a regimented student body option, similar to many service academies. It's situated in Castine, so you might find it appealing if you're looking to stay in-state.
As it is a maritime academy, many of the programs are focused on marine sciences, engineering, and transportation/logistics, but they also offer other programs. This includes subjects like International Business & Logistics, Marine Biology, and even Power Engineering Technology.
MMA also provides graduates with a U.S. Coast Guard license, on successful completion of the Regiment of Midshipmen regimental program and passing the U.S. Coast Guard license exam. This offers an avenue for service and unique job opportunities post-graduation.
Do also remember that, as this is a public college, Maine residents will have a lower tuition cost than out-of-state students, if that's a factor in this decision.
