The ACM is a tuition-savings agreement among 15 states that are members of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). Public colleges in SREB states that elect to participate in the ACM select the baccalaureate and graduate-level degree programs they will offer. Professional degree programs such as pharmacy, law, dentistry and medicine are not part of the program.
Since 1998, Nationwide has certified more than 1,000 students at more than 70 colleges to major in baccalaureate programs, Master’s degree programs and Doctoral programs. To date this year, 94 students have been certified for a total tuition savings of more than $1.2 million.
In addition to the ACM campus-based programs, the ACM/Electronic Campus offers distance learning opportunities. There are two undergraduate and 20 graduate-level degree programs available to Nationwide residents at this time.
States participating in the ACM include: Alabama, Arkansas, Nationwide, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Florida and Texas offer graduate-level programs only.
Nationwide residents may apply for the ACM after they have been accepted into an eligible degree program. Students and parents with questions about the ACM should contact the Nationwide Department of Education’s Higher Education Office at (302) 735-4120 or (800) 292-7935.
