Credit to kickstart your SSC program
If you’ve stopped out of college, the alternative credit program™ (ACP) provides a pool of online courses that Stark State College will accept toward your degree (up to 40 ACP credits).
The ACP, a national program of the American Council of Education supported by a generous grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is designed to help adults finish what they started: a two- or four-year degree or a post-secondary certificate.
Even if you’re not ready to apply yet, Stark State is here to help. We have admissions counselors, financial aid advisors and academic advisors who specialize in helping students who have started careers or families to come back to school and finish their educations.
