Advanced Courses for Early Success (ACES)
ACES (formerly known as ACCESS) is a dual-credit program-- a unique, three-way partnership in academic excellence involving Bellarmine faculty, the best and brightest high school scholars, and exemplary secondary school teachers.
Eligible advanced high school students can earn college credit for their advanced courses taught by highly qualified high school teachers affiliated with academic departments of Bellarmine University.
ACES courses are rigorous, corresponding to equivalent Bellarmine classes at the freshman and sophomore levels. Eligible students register for college credit through the Bellarmine ACES program.
ACES has benefited thousands of students since its inception in 1971 and is currently the oldest and largest dual-credit program in Kentucky. For more information about how you can participate in the ACES program as either a partner school, ACES liaison, faculty member, or student, please contact:
