About The American College of Dubai The American College of Dubai (ACD) is a privately endowed post-secondary institution based in Dubai, UAE, created under the laws of the UAE and operating with the required UAE Government approvals which include formal accreditation by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research as well as local licensure approval by the Dubai Knowledge and Human Development Authority. Established in 1991, ACD is located on a purpose-built campus in the Garhoud area of Dubai, near the Dubai International Airport and opposite the Dubai Festival City. The institution offers a complete Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) qualification as well as a university transfer program designed to facilitate transfer abroad for degree completion in a variety of disciplines. A comprehensive Academic English program is offered for students who require additional preparation before entering a degree course. StraighterLine StraighterLine is a leader in making a quality college education more affordable. StraighterLine’s programs are a great way to tackle the escalating cost of four-year college tuition and avoid a mountain of student debt. StraighterLine offers two innovative programs. The “Freshman Year for $999” program is designed to help college students and their families address rampant rising tuition costs of college education. Students can take up to 10 StraighterLine courses for a single fee of $999 and realize savings of more than 90% versus the first-year tuition at many colleges. Students can also enroll in a subscription package for $99 a month that allows students who can move the material even faster an opportunity for even greater savings. Both programs includes up to 10 hours of one-on-one instructional support. Students who successfully complete StraighterLine online college courses receive credit when they enroll with any school in our rapidly expanding network of regionally accredited partner colleges and universities. In addition, the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT - www.acenet.edu/acecredit/) has also evaluated and recommended college credit for StraighterLine courses. ACE CREDIT helps students gain access to academic credit at colleges and universities for formal courses and examinations taken in settings outside traditional higher education. StraighterLine also offers a tuition assistance program as a benefit for companies to provide to employees interested in earning their college degree.
