American College of Education celebrates the momentous occasion of graduation twice per year with a live commencement ceremony in the summer and winter. The commencement ceremony brings together a nationwide community of teachers to celebrate their achievements in earning a master of education degree with family, friends, classmates, faculty and administration. It is a unique environment where graduates may not only be fellow classmates, but also colleagues as well. Some are even thrilled to finally meet their classmate in-person from thousands of miles away. Commencement is a place for graduates to meet one another and cultivate friendships that began in the online program. It's also a place to honor families who have sacrificed for the journey.

Commencement has witnessed many celebrated graduates, among them recipients of the prestigious Golden Apple and Teacher of the Year awards. We've witnessed graduates who have been promoted to principals and assistant principals, who are stronger teachers in the classroom, and who continue enriching lives post graduation.

The destination and time of year may change for the graduation ceremony, but the look and feel of commencement remains the same: a family tree of parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren celebrating the accomplishments of a proud family member on graduating from the American College of Education Master of Education degree program.
