Message from the Consortium President

The American Consortium of Universities (ACU) is a group of accredited institutions of higher education with distinct programs and features that have attracted and served the educational needs of thousands of international students from around the world. The scope of their degree offerings is wide, varied, and far-reaching, ranging from associate degrees to doctoral programs in many different fields, including advanced science, engineering, and technology and programs as diverse as environmental engineering, law, business administration, textiles, nutrition and sports medicine.

International students flourish in environments in which an institution's commitment to international education is demonstrated pragmatically, through its people, facilities, and services. That commitment stems from a view of international students as educational resources that not only can excel educationally themselves but can also enrich what an institution can provide for its own faculty and domestic students.


Ahad Shahbaz, President of the Consortium
