Not quite. Even though owned by Higher Ed Holdings – American College of Education is a for-profit non-traditional online [only] university (e.g., DePaul University affiliated acquisition 2004); conversely, both Lamar University and Arkansas State University - Jonesboro are established traditional (B&M) state universities that utilize Ed Holdings as their online M.Ed. program management co. (partnership) vendor. American College is indeed RA (NCA); however without USDOE programmatic /specialized accreditation (e.g., NCATE or TEACAC), the caveat being that the American College of Education M.Ed. may not be approved for Educator credentialing /licensure purposes in certain states. If Teacher /administrator licensure is the consumer’s goal – a precedent should be to check with the particular state’s Board of Education for clarification prior to enrolling.

	Education Degrees Education Degrees Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults. Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods •Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree. •Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts. •Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs.
