Internship, student teaching, and field experience activities are designed to be compatible with the U.S. school system. In order to ensure appropriate supervision and equivalent experiences, students must complete all field experiences and internship activities in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. To best support students as they complete their internship, student teaching, and other field experiences, the American College of Education requires all students to complete these requirements in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Students with exceptional circumstances (such as working at a Department of Defense School) may apply for a Clinical Experience Exception Approval.
American College of Education does not offer visas or other types of work permits. Securing any necessary authorization is the responsibility of the student. All admitted students must be eligible to work within and agree to complete all requirements in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
At times, students may decide to change to a different degree program, change their course of study within their current program, or change to a student-at-large. A degree program is defined as a series of prescribed courses that lead to a degree. A course of study is a designated sequence of courses, which are focus areas within a degree program. Students seeking a change of program, course of study, or change to student-at-large status must meet the new program's admission requirements.
American College of Education wants to be students' first choice for online programs in education and healthcare, as well as programs leading to initial teacher licensure. We need outstanding professionals to make it happen. We look for people who can maintain our commitment to education excellence and build ACE with high-quality, low-cost degree programs. Providing the education that professionals need to improve their practice allows ACE employees to improve their futures.
Since 2005, the American College of Education has been a leader in educators' professional development through our online programs. We were founded by educators and have drawn from our experiences to make ACE a truly unique institution that places our students' needs first and helps you achieve your professional goals.
As a socially conscious institution, we believe we have a responsibility to our students, alumni, employees, local communities, and society. We strive to make an impact in the world that goes well beyond our bottom line.
