ACE represents the presidents of U.S. accredited, degree-granting institutions, which include two- and four-year colleges, private and public universities, and nonprofit and for-profit entities. ACE’s strength lies in its loyal and diverse base of more than 1,700 member institutions, 75 percent of which have been with ACE for over 10 years.
