The FGCU Accelerated Collegiate Experience Program (ACE) is a unique program enabling students to simultaneously complete high school requirements while earning university credit toward a specific degree at FGCU.  Accelerated Collegiate Experience students are enrolled in the University full time but are able to maintain involvement with their home high school in such areas as sports, clubs, festivals, proms, and graduation. 

Admission to the program is geared toward highly motivated and exceptionally qualified 11th and 12th grade high school students. Students will have a minimum 3.3 GPA, a recommended SAT (1550) or ACT (23), and recommendations from principal or designee and a teacher.

For additional information, please contact the FGCU ACE office at 239-590-7430.  You may also e-mail cpopovic@fgcu.edu.
