Student Testimonials
Here’s what our students had to say about their ACE experience.
Syncia Sama
M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction
“I recommend this program to anyone who is looking to further their education in any field. The flexibility is what makes it suitable for anyone who is working a full-time job or busy with other responsibilities. The cost is very reasonable as well, and did not break my pockets at all!”
Brenda-Lee Pringle
M.Ed. in Educational Business Administration
“It was a great experience studying at American College of Education, a memory to cherish for a lifetime. My experience at ACE was full of learning and grooming. I have cultivated knowledge and skills that I continue to use throughout my life’s journey. With the skills and knowledge that I have garnered, I was able to share and help others inside and outside of my work environment.” p
Nate Failing
Ed.D. in Leadership
“I really appreciated the structure of each class. They all had the same general structure, so it made it easier to adapt to each class, each term. Plus, as a father working a full-time job, I was able to do the work when the kids went to bed. So I never missed time with them.”
