1 Week Intensive Foundation Course
In ACE, you take classes with the same group of students throughout the semester. It begins with a one week foundation course. This course is designed to help you increase self-awareness, bond with your classmates, and discover your personal learning and working style. By collaborating in teams, you practice effective communication, how to work well with others, and develop your professional skills.
15 Week Semester
After completing the foundation course, you begin a group of classes which include some of the following:
College Composition English 1A PLUS
Social Justice Issues
Team/Self Management
Career/Education Planning
College Skills for Success
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.
