Why offer Accelerate ASU Universal Learner Courses?
Universal Learner Courses benefit high school students in a number of ways.
Promote college readiness among the student body.
Increase access to advanced college-level material, especially in the STEM fields.
Provide affordable college credit options.
Flexible facilitation models
Choose from one of three facilitation models for Universal Learner Courses.
Facilitated model
The teacher facilitates the course through scheduled class time and guides students through the material.
Supervised model
Teachers provide support or office hours while students complete the coursework largely on their own time and schedule. This is a great option for schools with limited teacher resources.
Individual model
Your school does not provide space or teachers. The student signs up and takes the course outside of school, on their own time and schedule.Request information
