Miami Dade College is offering the Project ACE program for any student at InterAmerican Campus, 627 SW 27th Ave., and Wolfson Campus, 300 N.E. 2nd Ave.
Project ACE was founded with a Title V- grant from the U.S. Department of Education in 2008. The goal was to create an accelerated track to learn English for students with strong academic backgrounds.
“Students learn the language skills most essential to their success in the college classroom, for example presentation skills, writing and research,” said Michelle Thomas, Project ACE director.
Students interested must have a 3.5 grade point average or above, complete the ACE application, and receive a letter of recommendation from a professor or supervisor.
Students earn college credit while completing coursework in English including CLP1006 and LIS2004.
Applications must be submitted to the Project ACE website. Priority deadline is May 13, regular deadline is June 10 and the final deadline is Aug. 1.
“The selection process is increasingly competitive, and we currently have more students wanting to apply than spaces for them,” Thomas said.
