Student-Focused Initiative Dramatically Increases Degree Completion
Beginning this spring, Farmingdale State College (FSC) will be one of 12 State University of New York (SUNY) campuses to participate in the Accelerate, Complete, and Engage (ACE) Program, an exciting new SUNY initiative to meaningfully improve student support, retention, and degree completion.
The comprehensive program, based on a highly successful national model, will provide holistic services for FSC first-generation students and those who have demonstrated financial need. Services will include individualized counseling, leadership and career development, peer mentoring, interactive workshops and events, and financial support through academic scholarships, textbook stipends, and transportation assistance. ACE’s primary goal is to narrow opportunity gaps and increase timely bachelor's degree completion rates for participating students.
