Academic Program

A cornerstone of the ACE program is your enrollment in courses specific to your admission. All ACE students will enroll in the following courses their first semester at SCSU:

  • COLL 150: Discovering the College Experience (2 credits)
  • COLL 110: Reading/Study Strategies (2 credits)

The COLL 150 and 110 course credits apply for a total of four SCSU elective credits. These credits will work towards your overall degree at SCSU.  For detailed information on the COLL courses, explore the Undergraduate Bulletin online at: http://bulletin.stcloudstate.edu/ugb/alluniv.asp

In addition to your COLL courses, students will enroll in additional coursework through the Liberal Education Program, pre-major/minor courses and/or developmental coursework as determined by placement testing and ACT scores.
