President's Welcome

Dr. Donald E. Ross

Preparing young people for the challenges they will face in the years ahead... this is the mission and the commitment of American College. In this multi-cultural environment in which we find ourselves, national borders do not have the same meaning they once had. Emerging leaders must understand and appreciate multiple cultures, speak several languages, and interact both personally and professionally with people from all over the world.

Our commitment to your education encompasses all aspects of your academic, personal, and professional development, with particular emphasis on excellence, education, and employment.

During the semester, extensive continuous assessment is used to ensure progress is maintained. Class size is small, which allows for greater interaction between students and lecturers. Students are encouraged to question and discuss issues, which leads to a more dynamic learning experience. Additional features of the American College experience include internships and a range of student support services.

Our Study Abroad program gives our students the opportunity to live and study in an international environment with young people all over the world, at our American College campus in Dublin, Ireland. Studying abroad allows our students to intern at international businesses, participate in multi-cultural projects and experiences, and have the opportunity of living and studying in cultures other than their own. This dynamic environment can translate itself into meaningful career opportunities with interesting and creative jobs in all arts of the globe.

We believe in our students - in their dreams, in their willingness to be innovators, and in their determination to succeed.

Donald E. Ross
President, American College
