NACEP, the Advanced Credit Program's accrediting body, requires all dual credit adjuncts to attend one professional development workshop every academic year. For this reason, the ACP offers a wide variety of PD workshops each year. A list of this year's professional development workshops will become available as we schedule them.
Adjuncts who participate in these workshops receive one student scholarship (limit of two per academic year). If you have questions, please email Brienna Manore at blmt7g@umsl.edu.

Topic: Topic: Fintech – Modern Financial Technology and Engaging Students with Research and Debate
This session will begin with an overview of several topics within fintech, specifically artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies, and the various finance/fintech programs offered at UMSL. This will lead into a discussion around modern fintech, which lives at the intersection of economics, mathematics, engineering, and psychology. Then to conclude, we will review the design of a fintech debate tournament where students will collaborate in researching fintech investments and compete by presenting financial arguments in support of the investments, which can range from stocks in major companies like Microsoft or Amazon to cryptocurrencies and other digital assets.
