HOULTON, Maine — Educators and potential educators can choose from a variety of programs and courses offered at University College at Houlton for the spring 2013 semester, which begins this January.

Most of the courses are delivered online. Students without high-speed internet access can participate in the courses at University College’s well-equipped computer lab. Staff at the center offer support to all students who are new to online learning.
