Eastern Maine Community College

Your path to a brighter Maine.

Degrees, certificates, transfer and workforce training on our 72-acre campus in Bangor.


Since 1966, Eastern Maine Community College has been where careers start, degrees get finished and Maine’s workforce gets stronger. We train the nurses, electricians, firefighters, teachers and chefs who keep this state running, and we help students carry their credits on to a four-year degree.
