American College of Technology mission is to deliver, career oriented, technical training and education to anybody, anywhere at a fair cost. We believe that affordable education should be available to everyone, at any time. Traditional colleges incur high administrative and organizational costs to support their infra-structure; campuses, theaters, and maintenance, such expenses are passed to the online student. At ACOT, we have eliminated most of the costs associated with traditional colleges and we believe in passing these significant savings on to our students. Click to compare!

When attempting to transfer credits from ACOT to another College, one must keep in mind that accepting credits is dependent on the policy of the receiving College. ACOT is nationally accredited by the DETC, and ACOT’s programs and courses have been approved by the US Department of Education, the Veterans Administration, and the Missouri Department of Higher Education, however, I would check with the college you plan to attend to further your education about their credit transfer policy, before you enroll at ACOT.
