Why ACLAS
Higher education without the overhead
ACLAS was built for people who need the qualification but cannot stop working, relocate, or spend $80,000 to get it. Everything below is published fact, not ambition.
Tuition that is not a mortgage
MBA $89, BBA $159, BSCS and DBA $199, MCS $299 — one-time payments for the whole program. Installments are available with a $2 fee each.
No term dates, no live classes
Start the day you are ready. Every program is self-paced, so progress is set by your schedule rather than an academic calendar.
Studied from 150+ nations
ACLAS learners are spread across more than 150 countries, and the whole college operates online and in English.
Verifiable credentials
Every award carries a unique certificate ID that employers can check through free online verification, Qualification Check (UK) or the IECC platform.
Accredited and certified
Institutional accreditation from EAHEA and QAHE, ISO 29995:2021 certification through AQS, and CPD-accredited provision in the United Kingdom.
Assessment you can plan around
Courses are assessed by multiple-choice quiz. There is no thesis to schedule and no residency to travel for.
The learning experience
Understand the material, then prove it
Each course is structured as a sequence of lessons with video and reading support, so you can listen on a commute and read in the evening. ACLAS learners frequently cite the listen-or-read flexibility as what made study possible alongside a demanding job.
Assessment is a multiple-choice quiz per course. That keeps the assessment load predictable and removes the need for scheduled examination windows.
- Structured lessons with both video and text
- Multiple-choice quiz assessment in every course
- Digital certificate and transcript on completion
- A unique certificate ID that employers can verify
Ways to study
Three routes, depending on how far you want to go
The same course catalog sits behind all three. Start with a single subject, build a named certificate from four related courses, or commit to a full degree.
| Route | Commitment | Credential | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificate course | One subject | Course completion certificate | $14.99 |
| Advanced professional program | Four related courses | Named Mini-MBA, Executive or Professional Certificate | $39 |
| Degree program | 8–14 courses | BBA, BSCS, MBA, MCS or DBA | $89 |
Certificates are not degrees.Mini-MBA, Executive Certificate and Professional Certificate programs are non-degree professional learning credentials. They recognize completion of a short, focused program of study and do not carry academic credit towards an ACLAS degree. Each requires all four courses to be completed within twelve months of enrollment.
