Access Program: Adult & Professional Studies

Keeping up with the demands of career, family and other commitments doesn't leave much time for working adults to finish their degrees. That's why Atlanta Christian College offers the Access program for busy adults. You may think of your degree as "unfinished business" -- let us help you finish your degree and begin to reach your full potential!

Why choose the Access program?

• Finish your degree in as little as 18-24 months, attending evening classes one night a week on our main campus or at our new satellite location in Peachtree City, Ga.
• Access offers both associate and bachelor's degrees in a variety of academic disciplines, including Christian ministries, human relations or organizational leadership.
• You may be granted credit for prior learning -- including on-the-job training, military service and other life experiences -- in addition to your previous college work.
• Financial aid is available for those who qualify -- Access programs qualify for state and federal financial aid programs, and may also qualify for employer reimbursement and corporate tuition plans.
• Atlanta Christian College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award the associate and baccalaureate degrees.*
• The Access program faculty and staff will provide you with the personal attention and one-on-one advisement you need to feel confident in your educational goals.

The goal of ACC’s Access program is to provide quality courses that integrate faith and learning in a nontraditional format for the adult student. We understand the unique challenges faced by adults who want to pursue their degrees. We strive to serve our students and look to assist them as they seek a Christ-centered education.

Our program has been developed to serve the adult student. We recognize that adults have many roles and responsibilities in their busy days, and that their time is limited. We have designed our programs to meet those needs; classes meet one night each week, and progress at an accelerated pace.

The Access program at ACC is designed for the working adult, providing a rigorous, sequenced curriculum that fosters a lifelong love of learning; shared experiences; and a deep sense of commitment to the betterment of society, beginning with the betterment of the learner's understanding of the world. Programs are structured to enable students to complete undergraduate degrees while maintaining full-time employment and meeting the demands of everyday life.

The Access program is specifically designed to be flexible in order to meet the needs of adults in the marketplace. Within each program, both theoretical knowledge and practical skills are used to provide the learner with the tools necessary to be successful in the global marketplace.

Each student will join a small cohort of adult students who will track through their degree program with you. Each cohort follows a schedule that is sequentially scheduled for students. Each course is taught one night a week from 6 to 10 p.m. Cohorts take one course at a time, meeting on the same night and at the same time and place every week. This format allows students to plan their time around the same night each week for the duration of their studies. The small class format provides support from your peers, as well as faculty attention focused on student learning.

If you desire to attend a college where you can complete your associate or bachelor's degree quickly while receiving individual attention from faculty and staff, Atlanta Christian College is the place for you. New cohorts are forming every month, so you can get started right now!

Remember, we care about your academic progress and your personal success. We aspire to give every student the support he or she needs -- from your first contact to the day you receive your diploma!
