A high proportion of the College’s students progress to further studies at the postgraduate level.
American College Dublin is a non-profit, third level, educational institution offering programs in international business, liberal arts, creative writing, musical theatre, and more. Located on Merrion Square, Dublin, Ireland, American College Dublin provides programmes at the bachelor’s and master’s levels in liberal arts, performing arts, creative writing, international business, accounting and f
inance, hospitality management and event management. Established as a not-for-profit educational trust in 1993 by Lynn University (located in Boca Raton, Florida), the College has grown from a study abroad campus for American students to a global institution with over sixty nationalities among its student body. ACD is a constituent college of Irish American University and within the University structure has a sister campus in Claymont, Delaware, named American College Delaware, through which it offers shared programmes and transfer opportunities between Ireland and the USA. American College Dublin takes the time-honoured American tradition of the moderately-sized, not-for-profit liberal arts institution and places it in an international context, with campuses on both sides of the Atlantic rim. The institution seeks to offer the best characteristics of Irish and American higher education in an intimate environment underpinned by the holistic liberal arts model of learning, enabling students to realize their potential and participate successfully in the world. The College provides an education that is rigorous, stimulating and valuable, emphasizing the core values of academic excellence, innovation, ethical integrity and multiculturalism. Class sizes are small (generally no more than thirty students to a class) and the teacher engages the student in an educational experience that is active, participative and challenging. Many of the programmes of study have an internship component, which allows students to apply their classroom learning in relevant industry environments and provides them with practical experience related to their field of study. Above all, American College Dublin strives to instil a passion for education that advances the development of the individual’s talents and a process of lifelong learning.
