N ews and In fo rm ation
The Advanced Credit program has earned full accreditation through the National Alliance of Con-
current Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP). NACEP President Lynn Burbank remarked: "Through
NACEP's rigorous accreditation peer-review process, the University of Missouri - St. Louis has dem-
onstrated that it has integrated high quality standards-based practices across its concurrent enroll-
ment program. We welcome UMSL's Advanced Credit Program as one of the sixty-three concur-
rent enrollment programs nationwide that have achieved NACEP accreditation status." Thanks to all of our
fabulous instructors and liaisons who have helped to make this possible. We couldn’t have done it without you!
