HISTORY OF SUNY CORNING’S CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT PROGRAM
Originally called the College Level Education Program (CLEP), ACE began in 1972 as a collaboration between Elmira City School District and SUNY CORNING, offering one calculus course at the two Elmira high schools. By 1987, ACE, now expanded to six high schools, had 185 students. The program evolved into a partnership among these schools, BOCES, and SUNY CORNING and today ACE spans 40 schools in Southern Tier NY and Northern Tier PA, offering 60 college courses to more than 2,000 students.
Today, the ACE Office at SUNY Corning offers two types of courses: Accelerated College Education (ACE) courses offered to students at their high schools, taught by their high school faculty; and College Enrollment Online (CEO) courses, taught online asynchronously to students by full-time SUNY Corning faculty.
