Altierus Career College
MISSION
Altierus Career College is no longer accepting applications or enrolling new students. Classes will continue for current students, and the campus will continue to provide support resources and career services through graduation and for a period of time thereafter. Former students may request transcripts above and reach out to their campus for ongoing career assistance.
The ECMC Group Board of Directors, representing the parent organization of Altierus Career College, has made the decision to teach out the three remaining Altierus Career College (ACC) campuses. A teach out means that we will provide the education and support services for our current students and gradually wind down the school’s operations. New students will no longer be accepted. We will continue to provide career services for a period beyond the teach-out to ensure that the program is as successful as possible for students. Altierus Career College will engage in an orderly closure, with campuses remaining open until all current students that are following their academic plans graduate or an acceptable completion plan is identified for remaining degree students.
