As the University at Buffalo continues its commitment to providing academically talented students with a world-class education, we have also increased support services for students who show great potential for academic success but need enrichment in some areas. The Academic Challenge and Enrichment Program (ACE) is a new and exciting academic support program designed to provide students with the preparation and resources needed to maximize their abilities and ensure their success at UB and beyond.

Enrolling at a university is a very important decision. The ACE program, which is administered by the Center for Academic Development Services (CADS), will help students take full advantage of all the UB experience has to offer. Students enrolled in the ACE Program benefit from ongoing support during their first two years of study at UB, including one-on-one advisement, academic, financial and personal counseling, peer mentoring, tutoring, career guidance, and more.
