Early College Credits at Gorham High School

Students are eligible for up to 12 credits per year (July 1-June 30) through the Early Studies Programs in the University of Maine System and Maine Community College System. Additional early studies options are available through Husson University, St. Joseph’s College and University of New England. Students should discuss their options for this early studies program with their school counselor. Transportation, books and fees are the responsibility of the student.

Special Agreement with the University of Southern Maine 

In March of 2020, Gorham High School and the University of Southern Maine announced a new partnership that enables GHS students to earn a full year of college credit by the time they graduate from high school. The pathways are in:

• Law or Liberal Arts

• Engineering

• Nursing and Health Sciences

Any GHS student who wishes to learn more about early-college opportunities should make an appointment with their school counselor to sign up.
