What's ACE?
ASB has launched Agile Continuous Education (ACE), a granular set of hybrid courses that are designed to keep professionals at the forefront of their fields. ACE courses are modular and stackable: they yield certificates, which can be stacked to yield micro-credentials. Furthermore, ACE modules are transferrable: students can accrue academic credit through their ACE course. Join the movement!
Flexible Delivery
- Time. Place. Content: Learning unbundled from traditional constraints, much like how streaming services have transformed media consumption.
- Agility: Learn where you are, when you can, and what you need, as flexibility and speed are key for remaining relevant.
Modular, Progressive Structure
ACE employs cutting-edge pedagogy that emphasizes authentic and durable learning.
- Stand-alone, micro-credential courses: Short, focused courses geared towards trending skills and new areas of knowledge.
- Micro-Credentials: Standalone courses can be stacked to form Micro-Credentials.
- Stackable to Degrees: Micro-Credentials can be combined to gain eligibility to apply for comprehensive qualifications, culminating in a Master’s degree.
