ACE is designed for student sucess

The courses in the ACE program are designed to make going to college full time more manageable. Unlike taking several unrelated courses, the assignments you do in ACE courses are all connected to each other, and all focus on the completion of transfer level coursework.

ACE is a community

Graduates often will tell us that being in ACE is like being part of a family. ACE faculty and staff work closely with you to provide support and resources. Students make lasting friendships, and are able to successfully transition into College by engaging with faculty and peers in hands on learning. Students come out of their first semester transformed, motivated, and ready to achieve their goals.
