What Is It Like to Be an Online Student at ACE?
All ACE classes are rooted in forward-thinking, evidence-based instruction that is immediately applicable in your professional life. And with the flexibility of the online format, you can study on your own time and in your own place.
A typical week for an ACE Student involves:
- Watching online video modules
- Tuning into presentation-based course lectures
- Engaging with peers through online discussions
- Diving into content with papers or other assignments
- Taking periodic assessments to demonstrate content mastery
Geared towards an adult learner who wants an accelerated path, our courses are typically offered in 5-week or 10-week formats with a break between terms.
