American College of Education Reviews of Master's in Curriculum & Instruction

I chose this school because of their cheap tuition. Well, I guess what they say is true, "You get what you pay for." This online school is very new and seems to be still trying to figure out how to be successful. The quality of education is poor, with a great deal of work required in order to graduate. Communications with faculty take days. They offer no financial aid. My recommendation is enroll in a more established, respectable online school and use financial aid to offset the cost difference.... Read More

I am halfway through my program at ACE, and find it to be both extremely useful, and affordable. The lessons have honestly had a great impact on my teaching and make me think about how I can improve my teaching/classroom. The professors have been helpful and provide feedback each week through discussions, or for my weekly research papers. I am not sure about the other programs, but the M.Ed programs are very helpful, and although challenging, I am able to do the work along with working full time... Read More in Shanghai.

This is my third online schooling experience as an adult. When I first switched my career path from business to education, I even went through alternative teaching certification program online.

I do not understand some of these other comments... if you sign up for a course, it has to be paid in full prior to the start date whether it is with cash or a loan. I do not understand why this school would refund your money if you withdraw or change your mind about a class. That is not generally how it works at any other school that I have attended. My one complaint is that a five week course seems to be a bit too short. I am glad that I am able to earn a Master's in 18 months, but at the same time - I would prefer courses that lasted 6-8 weeks so that I have more processing time for the new information. I have had a bachelor's degree since 2010 and no one has ever asked where I got it from in an interview, so I also don't understand comments suggesting that this particular school being listed on your resume will hurt you professionally in any way. Today more than ever, there are a billion types of schools with accreditation and I am sure that employers know that. I would recommend, no doubt! I love ACE!
