Academy for College Excellence (ACE) is a full-time, first-semester evidence-based community college program. ACE targets the needs of underprepared students, while equipping them to succeed in the technology-driven, 21st-century economy. A highly collaborative enterprise that teaches teamwork and personal responsibility, the ACE approach also promotes individual self-exploration, self-improvement, and persistence. The result is a transformational learning experience unlike what is currently available at community colleges.
