WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITIES IN AMERICA PROGRAM?

The UNIVERSITIES IN AMERICA program offers international students the opportunity to spend at least one full academic year or more in a well respected American college or university… at dramatically reduced cost and without the complications often associated with the international admissions process.

By special arrangements with a group of liberal arts colleges and universities, AACE is able to offer this wonderful opportunity for international students only. Students may select a first and second choice form the list of participating institutions, then complete a single application for submission to AACE. Accepted candidates will be fully enrolled, eligible to receive academic credit for courses successfully passed, and, with satisfactory results in the UNIVERSITIES IN AMERICA program, able to continue for additional years of study, even through graduation. While tuition and fees for subsequent years will be higher and determined by participating schools, the savings during the UNIVERSITIES IN AMERICA program will easily justify the experience. 

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Included in the program price are application fees, all tuition, dormitory accommodation, full college meal plan, accident/health insurance, travel to the campus from the nearest domestic airport, full-year monitoring by AACE, access to our toll-free service line, course selection assistance, and management of any emergencies that might arise. NOT included are airfare, spending money, book costs, and vacation travel/food costs.
