Maine Senior College Network

The Maine Senior College Network (MSCN), which began in 1997 at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, is currently a consortium of 18 independent groups from York County to Presque Isle.

There are no tests, no papers, and no grades, each senior college group plans exciting, intellectually stimulating non-credit courses (taught by volunteers) and special learning opportunities for adults over the age of 50. Each senior college charges up to $25 for annual membership, plus up to $50 for each 4-8 week course. Scholarships are available.

The Maine Senior College network is housed at The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), at the University of Southern Maine (USM) in Portland, Maine. The staff and key volunteers at OLLI at the University of Southern Maine provide resources and assistance to existing programs. Contact them at (207) 780-4128 if you have questions about the MSCN and its programs.
