As we continue to plan our ACP schedules, we have also made the decision to cancel the following ACPs:
Summer 2021 ACP Creativity and Product Development
Fall 2021 ACP International Tourism and Hotel Management
Thank you for your support and please let us know if you have any comments or concerns.
[2021.2.20]
After much consideration, we have decided to postpone the launch of our new ACP in Data Analytics for Business from summer 2021 to winter 2022. Our other new ACP in Data Science is still scheduled to launched in spring 2021.
[2020.11.23]
At UC Irvine, our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and community during this unprecedented time and to help students advance their education and open doors to new opportunities in their career path. We also understand that many students want the full study abroad experience. That is why students who enroll in one of our online winter 2021 ACPs will receive a $1,000 USD tuition credit to use in the future when our ACPs are back on-ground.
This credit is valid through winter 2023 for one ACP and no code is necessary to receive the tuition credit. This offer cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.
Are your students curious to learn more about online learning? Hear from student Emma Scarfe about her positive experience studying remotely in our Accelerated Certificate Program in Digital Marketing & Communications.
My remote learning experience fit my expectations and I was never disappointed with anything!
