NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATE BILL ON NEW AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HISTORY
AND LEGAL STUDIES PASSES HOUSE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY

SALEM, NH (April 13, 2010) - The American College of History and Legal Studies, which is a
revolutionary concept in higher education, took another major step forward today when a
legislative committee unanimously passed the bill to confer degree-granting authority on the new
school.

New Hampshire Senate Bill #312, which earlier passed the entire State Senate 24-0, was voted
on today by the New Hampshire House Education Committee and it also passed unanimously by
a vote of 15-0. The bill will be taken up by the full New Hampshire House of Representatives
next week or the week thereafter, and passage is expected.

"We at the ACHLS are so pleased with the recent unanimous recommendation of approval by
the House Education Committee on Senate Bill # 312, and we are especially grateful for the
sponsors in the Senate and House, including Chairwoman Emma Rous and Representatives Jack
Laurent and Claire Clarke, who serve on the House Education Committee," said Maureen
Mooney, the chief operating officer of the college.

The American College of History and Legal Studies (ACHLS) is slated to open its doors in
Salem in August of 2010. The ACHLS is a senior college offering the junior and senior years of
undergraduate education and will grant bachelor's degrees with a major in history and legal
studies. Moreover, the college will provide guaranteed pathways into the Massachusetts School
of Law for qualified students and give them the opportunity to earn their law degree in only six
years instead of the traditional seven years.

The ACHLS is currently accepting applications from students who have completed at least two
years of college and wish to complete their bachelor's degrees. The education will be rigorous
and graduates will be prepared to compete with anyone in today's competitive marketplace.
The high quality education will also be very affordable. Tuition is only $10,000 per year and
half-tuition scholarships of $5,000 are available to qualified students. The college will hold
classes in the evening at its Salem campus to allow students to balance their lives should they
choose to work while finishing their bachelor's degree.
