ATHENS, Ga.–The Southeastern Regional Credit Union School (SRCUS) said it has received approval to offer the Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation to graduates of its Southeast Management School.
SRCUS said the ability to offer the CCUE designation is 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,” SCRUS said in a statement.
In addition SRCUS reported that 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,” SRCUS said.
Inaugural Group Participates
According to SRCUS, 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,” SRCUS Executive Director Brittani Champlin said in a statement. “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.”
The Next Session
The Southeast Management School is scheduled for June 15 – 20, in Athens, Ga. For info: www.srcus.org/ccue.
