缅因州公立大学数十年来首次开展合作,扩大接受高等教育的机会,满足劳动力需求。 Maine’s public universities are collaborating for the first time in decades to expand access to higher education and address workforce needs. 在一笔3.2亿美元的挑战赠款和统一认证的支持下,缅因大学系统正在启动诸如《唐东护理》、《相关牙科教育》和旅游与法律在线能力学位等联合方案。 Backed by a $320 million challenge grant and unified accreditation, the University of Maine System is launching joint programs like Downeast Nursing, allied dental education, and online competency-based degrees in tourism and law. 这些举措使农村地区的学生能够在当地获得学位,尽管全国入学率有所下降,但有助于教育系统实现连续七个学期的入学增长。 These initiatives allow students in rural areas to earn degrees locally, helping the system achieve seven consecutive semesters of enrollment growth despite national declines. 通过共享资源和降低成本,合作的目的是在加强缅因经济的同时,提高高等教育的可负担性和可及性。 By sharing resources and reducing costs, the collaboration aims to make higher education more affordable and accessible while strengthening Maine’s economy.
