Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) and Saint Joseph’s College of Maine are proud to announce the signing of 13 new articulation agreements that allow SMCC students to seamlessly transfer to programs at Saint Joe’s, continuing their educational journey.

These new articulation agreements are in addition to the recently announced Community² program. Community² will allow students to be part of the culture of both institutions with ten transfer agreements from SMCC to complementary programs at Saint Joseph’s and removing administrative barriers for students saving students time and money.

They bridge two great educational communities in a new way, offering a seamless college career that takes the speedbumps out of the transfer process.”
