Be a Part of Purpose-Driven Work
No matter the task, project or initiative, American College of Education (ACE) redefines higher education through career-oriented, affordable programs that deliver measurable returns on investment, minimize student debt and equip tomorrow’s global leaders.
We employ dedicated, skilled professionals who prioritize student needs, value measurable outcomes, thrive in agile environments and evolve with technology. We also prioritize a healthy work environment, where trust, accountability and respect are not just expectations but values we demonstrate in all we do.
ACE offers career opportunities at various levels – from entry-level to senior positions. We also employ and value seasoned professionals and experienced practitioners as faculty and academic leaders. In fact, our workforce includes five generations of professionals, and every generation brings unique perspectives, experiences and ideas. Together, those voices challenge us, inspire us and help shape the culture we’re building every day.
Join One of the Best Places to Work in the USA
From 2017 to 2022, ACE was named one of the 125 Best Places to Work in Indiana. In 2022, we were named a Top Workplace in the USA and have earned that distinction every year since.
“Energage takes us and our employee engagement to the next level. I love drilling into the data and being able to see year-over-year growth. It also helped us uncover problems in our employee experience that we otherwise wouldn’t have been aware of.”

Commitment to Our Culture
At ACE, we’re all about building a one-of-a-kind, supportive community where everyone — students, faculty and staff — can thrive. While structures are in place to keep us organized, every employee’s voice, ideas, skills, contributions and expertise are not only welcome but encouraged. Respect is non-negotiable, and we invite teams to engage in collaborative conversations that honor differences of opinion.
ACE prioritizes creating an environment that celebrates freedom of expression, diversity of thought, open dialogue and mutual respect. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and wellness so that every member of our ACE family feels empowered, valued and ready to reach their full potential. Together, we’re creating a vibrant, resilient and connected learning community where everyone matters.

We’re Virtually Awesome
ACE is a nationally recognized leader in fully online workplaces, as our teams have worked virtually since 2016 (long before it gained popularity). A trend setter? We think so!
Remote work is a central component of our operation, as we have the unique opportunity to hire top talent nationwide and build our team upon trust. Allowing space for a healthy and sustainable work-life balance retains top talent, and we take making our teams resilient (professionally and personally) seriously.
Some may say that virtual workplaces take away human connection, but we beg to differ! Through intentional meetings and incorporating artificial intelligence tools (such as Humantelligence®), we take an innovative approach to communication and collaboration.
Our strength and unified commitment to our mission translates to greater student support, and we won’t stop until we see every student access quality, career-advancing education.
Why Employees Love Us
Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from employees themselves.
Karen Cross
Sr Enrollment Counselor III
“I have been in the higher education field as an Enrollment Counselor for about 19 years, and almost 10 years of those years have been here at ACE. ACE is by far the best place I have ever worked and I honestly love my job for two major reasons. The first reason is that ACE truly puts students first and I am proud to stand behind and support every aspect of this college. The second reason is that I feel valued here, my ideas and suggestions are received and often put into place. ACE’s leaders, across all departments are what all industries are looking for. They are transformative leaders who create an environment of trust, appreciation, and success for each individual staff, for the many teams within various departments, and for the college as a whole.”
