Higher Education Partnerships
Partnerships designed for your success.
Affordable Education That Powers Your School
We know the most important part of any school is your community. When your students, staff and faculty have access to the education they need to grow and advance their careers, they have the power to uplift your entire institution. That’s why American College of Education (ACE) provides affordable, high-quality continuing education opportunities that help your students and employees reach their full potential.
Become an ACE Partner
Maximize the Value of Academic Credit
ACE shares your passion for providing accessible higher education to as many students as possible. That’s why we partner with community colleges to offer your students, alumni, staff and faculty tuition discounts on our degree programs. We’ll also work to create easy transfer credit pathways between your school and ours, so the credits your students earn will take them even farther.
Why ACE?
Seamless Pathways to More Opportunity
For your students, transferring into ACE doesn’t just mean they are working towards their next degree. We’ve purposefully designed many of our programs to be stackable. This means when your students apply their credits toward completing their bachelor’s at ACE, they are also earning credits applicable to ACE master’s and doctoral degrees.
