ACE offers its students a high quality online instruction and a committing and relevant program, while avoiding unnecessary expenses.

Indianapolis, in / Access news / July 15, 2025 / Obtaining your online diploma should be cheaper than pursuing it in person, but recent reports show that traditional colleges charge as much or more for online courses as programs in person. In May 2025, the Hechinger report documented How the costs of online education soar because colleges have recognized online education as an opportunity to earn money, even if technology allows it to easily lie while avoiding the general costs of bricks and mortar.

The American College of Education (ACE) builds its online programs first, optimized for an entirely virtual experience and designed to be relevant to today's economy. This relentless concentration on high -quality online teaching and learning allow ACE to keep its expenses in check and to save its students. ACE has not raised tuition fees since 2016¹making its most affordable tuition fees in the country.

ACE, founded in 2005, is a national innovator offering first online first cycle diplomas, online online, affordable and accredited. ACE is the third highest speaker in education diplomas in education in the United States². ACE weakness costs allow almost nine out of 10 students to obtain a debt diploma³.

“At ACE, students learn through a really online program and focusing on the career, not a traditional class program that is forced in an online format,” said Geordie Hyland, President and CEO of the ACE. “In this way, Ace offers education that provides real yields to the student and does it more efficiently and more affordable.”

While 80% of people think online education should be cheaper that programs in person, a 2024 survey College online learning agents have found that 83% of schools charge the same or more tuition fees. A 2024 report Through the education data initiative, revealed that in four -year public colleges, the education rate for online instruction was $ 341 per credit, slightly higher than $ 325 per credit for teaching in person.

On the other hand, Ace provides an education that Nine out of 10 students And 96% of employers Recommend constantly, and much less than the average cost: $ 215 per hour of credit for most of the baccalaureate levels, $ 235 per hour of credit for master's levels and $ 306 per hour of credit for doctoral courses.

The key is the high quality instruction of ACE and its process of development of the study program. ACE teachers are proactive and passionate practitioners who provide real and relevant experience in the online classroom.

The ACE study program is specially designed for effective online learning. “We are building our courses in the same way as you build a house,” said Jill Delcambre, vice-president of ACE innovation and learning design. “You don't start with the materials – you start with a plan where you want everything going and how everything is going together.”

The development process of the ACE curriculum begins with university leadership leading program planning through market studies and stakeholders in order to determine the concepts and skills that each course should cover. From there, ACE develops learning results and a “course card” so that the faculty creates content.

Funny members collaborate with the team dedicated to the ACE study program to create the course, which is generally a 12 -week process. They plan and develop the content of the course, ensuring that programs and courses have measurable results and that the documents are at the appropriate level and that students' expectations are clear.

The ACE learning design team creates visually engaging, accessible and easy-to-navigate courses in the online platform for a transparent learning experience. “Another thing that has done differently is that we produce our whole video internally,” said Delcambre. Online content designers produce all courses videos – whether filmed with teachers in the ACE studio or the content created by designer – providing a superior video and vocal presentation. “We are not going to send students to youtube to watch videos that someone else has created or simply put someone in front of a camera and make them start to talk,” said Delcambre. “We make sure that the content of our videos is based on evidence, supported by research and attracts students to create a significant commitment and active learning.”

Content designers also use AI as a tool to help them create interactive elements for students. For example, the module of an education course on class management would include “ramification scenarios created by the designer, built with the help of AI, on the way teachers should manage specific situations.

ACE's rigorous development process is designed to ensure that courses keep students committed and learning, and in a way that allows content to remain relevant and updated. This commitment to quality through internal development and production represent a significant institutional investment which ultimately benefits students through quality control and affordability. “Our investment in our courses is important, but it is an institutional priority that we absorb rather than go to students,” said Delcambre. “We are intentional to integrate technology that improves learning results and serves a clear educational objective.”

ACE can also maintain low tuition fees due to its intentional decision to give up federal student loans in Title IV, even if the college is qualified to accept them. By avoiding administrative costs and general costs of loan programs, ACE can reduce its operational expenses and the costs related to students.

With ACE study programs built and evaluated as real online services, students pay less than they would do for online programs offered by colleges with a physical campus. For more information, please visit ace.edu.
