SRCUS’ Southeast Management School approved to offer CCUE designation, ACE Credits®

The Southeastern Regional Credit Union School (SRCUS) proudly announces its approval to offer the prestigious Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation to graduates of its Southeast Management School.

SRCUS joins the Madison school of America’s Credit Unions’ Management School program in offering the CCUE designation, a testament to the quality and care of its education. The CCUE designation, instituted by America’s Credit Unions, is designed for credit union staff seeking to acquire the knowledge and experience essential for career advancement in management and business operations.

In addition to this significant milestone, an assessment by the American Council on Education (ACE) has determined that the Southeast Management School qualifies for nine ACE Credits®. These credits acknowledge the rigorous academic standards and thorough curriculum of the SRCUS program.

The first-year students from the 2024 program were the inaugural group to complete testing for credits this past June. Second-year students and 2024 graduates will also have the option to take a cumulative test this summer to earn credits as well. Students earn the total credits and the CCUE designation upon successful completion of all coursework and testing over the three-year SRCUS program.

“It’s been a well-sought journey to reach this point and offer this extra layer of achievement to SRCUS students,” said SRCUS Executive Director Brittani Champlin. “From the curriculum to the experience, and now certification, it’s important to us to make sure this school is always relevant and valuable to all who make the commitment and investment in this program.”

ACE, the major coordinating body for the nation’s higher education institutions, provides a pathway for SRCUS graduates to use ACE Credits® towards a degree or certificate at over a thousand colleges or universities within the ACE network, further enhancing their educational and professional prospects.

The Southeast Management School is scheduled for June 15 – 20, 2025 in Athens, GA. To learn more about the CCUE designation and the program, please visit www.srcus.org/ccue.
