American College of Education

About

Regionally accredited, online college offering degree programs in education, healthcare and nursing.

Story

Our affordable online programs are designed by educators for educators and professionals in educational, instructional, or administrative roles in their organizations.

With M.Ed. program tuition at just $235 per semester credit hour, ACE is nearly 1/3 the cost of many comparable online programs. Each program provides an efficient, yet rigorous learning experience. Courses are accelerated, with 24/7 online flexibility, so that a vast majority of our students complete a master's degree within 18 months.

We also offer a bachelor's degree completion program for students with at least an associate's degree, or a minimum of 60 undergraduate semester credit hours.

Our doctoral and a specialist programs in Leadership are a great fit for professionals who want to become creative, collaborative leaders within their communities to affect change at the state and national levels.

Our post-graduate certificates, all available entirely online, are tailored to specific disciplines that help teachers become stronger educators. Each certificate allows you to advance your career in education and enables you to bring new tools to your classroom.

At ACE you will learn proven, comprehensive educational strategies for use in your classroom and school. Professionals enrolled in our programs will learn not only how to teach more effectively, but also how to become mentors and leaders for their students.
