American Collegiate DC is a private institution. It operates as an independent educational organization, not funded or governed by state or federal governments. The program specializes in preparing international students for transfer to U.S. universities, offering pathways to undergraduate degrees through partnerships with other institutions.
As a private entity, it relies on tuition fees and private funding rather than public tax dollars. This model allows for tailored curricula and smaller class sizes, focusing on individualized student support. However, it does not grant degrees directly—students must transition to partner universities to complete their bachelor’s programs.
