Best fit
Match your goal to the right starting point — a degree, a certificate, or a single course. Each path below leads to the full details, including tuition and entry requirements, so you can compare before you commit.
Start with the BBA if you need an undergraduate foundation, or choose the MBA if you already have degree-level preparation and want management breadth.
Choose the BSCS for a structured computer science foundation, or the MCS for advanced computing topics such as security, machine learning, cloud and databases.
The DBA is the largest ACLAS program by course load and credit value. It is designed for applicants who already hold a master's degree or equivalent.
A certificate program may be a better fit when you want focused professional learning without committing to a full degree sequence.
Check recognition before you enroll. ACLAS may be a good fit for flexible professional learning, career development or a credential that an employer accepts. If you need a government-recognized qualification, professional licensing, immigration points or admission to another university, confirm acceptance with the relevant authority first.
Why ACLAS
ACLAS is designed for adults who want a practical, self-paced path forward without putting work, family or geography on hold.
Transparent, one-time published tuition covering your complete degree program. No hidden graduation fees, no per-credit surcharges, and flexible installment options.
Study on your own schedule around your full-time job and personal life. Continuous enrollment with no rigid semester deadlines and no mandatory live classes.
Study online in English from anywhere in the world. ACLAS empowers an international community of active learners across more than 150 countries.
Every credential includes a verifiable certificate ID, third-party screening via Qualification Check (UK), and optional Hague Apostille legal authentication.
Full institutional QAHE & EAHEA accreditation, ISO 29995:2021 certification, and CPD UK recognition, with transparent public disclosures on scope and recognition.
Modular coursework combined with objective quiz-based assessments, delivering actionable industry skills without campus commutes or residency requirements.
The learning experience
Each course is organized into focused lessons with video and reading support. You can study during a commute, between shifts or after the house is quiet, without waiting for a scheduled class.
Assessment is a multiple-choice quiz for each course, which keeps the next step visible and avoids scheduled examination windows. After you complete the required course sequence, ACLAS provides the listed completion documents and verification options.
Ways to study
Start with one subject, build a focused certificate or commit to a full degree. The right choice depends on how much depth and structure you need right now.
| Option | Commitment | Credential | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificate course | One subject | Course completion certificate | $14.99 |
| Advanced professional program | Four related courses | Named Mini-MBA, Executive or Professional Certificate | $39 |
| Degree program | 8–14 courses | BBA, BSCS, MBA, MCS or DBA | $89 |
Certificates are not degrees. Mini-MBA, Executive Certificate and Professional Certificate programs are non-degree professional learning credentials. They recognize completion of a short, focused program of study and do not carry academic credit towards an ACLAS degree. Each requires all four courses to be completed within twelve months of enrollment — except the Mini-MBA, which is six courses.

Compare
The same questions, answered side by side — including the rows where a traditional university wins. The last row matters most: read it before you decide.
| Aspect | ACLAS | Traditional university |
|---|---|---|
| Total tuition | From $89 (installments from $10) — 100% transparent before you apply | $15,000–$120,000+ for a comparable program |
| Schedule | Self-paced — start any day of the year | Fixed semesters with set start dates |
| Admission | No entrance examination, no application fee | Competitive admission, tests, essays and fees |
| Assessment | Multiple-choice quiz per course; no thesis | Exams, papers, usually a thesis or dissertation |
| Format | 100% online — no campus visits, ever | Campus-based or hybrid, often with residency |
| Recognition | International accreditations (EAHEA, QAHE); not accredited by the U.S. Department of Education | Usually nationally or regionally accredited |
Traditional-program figures are indicative ranges; actual tuition varies by institution and country. On recognition, the trade is explicit: ACLAS costs a fraction of a traditional program and fits around a full-time job, but it cannot offer the government recognition or credit transfer a traditional university can. If those matter for your plans, verify acceptance with the relevant authority before you enroll.
Accreditation and recognition
Review the organizations that accredit or certify ACLAS, then check the recognition limits that may affect your employer, university, immigration or licensing plans.

AQS Certifications
The CPD Certification ServiceRecognition depends on where and how you use your credential. Recognition and acceptance of ACLAS credentials vary by jurisdiction, institution and employer. Review the full accreditation and recognition record before enrolling, especially if you plan to use your credential for further study, licensing or regulated employment.
ACLAS's accreditation position: ACLAS publishes institutional accreditation, ISO certification and CPD program accreditation. Recognition of each credential depends on the jurisdiction, institution or employer reviewing it.
Open source AI research
ACLAS maintains two open-source AI projects on GitHub under the MIT license — free for anyone to inspect, use and build on.
An open-source multi-agent framework modeling how knowledge is acquired — on-device neural networks, vector-space semantics and collaborative agent environments, published with a Zenodo DOI for citable research.
An open-source prototype for credential verification — evidence mapping, review workflows and transparent audit trails for academic credentials, with a live demo anyone can try.
Both are research prototypes — published openly so the work can be inspected and reproduced, which is more than most institutions offer. For developers: github.com/aclascollege.
