AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HISTORY AND LEGAL STUDIES ESTABLISHES PERMANENT HOME IN SALEM

SALEM, NH—The American College of History and Legal Studies, a revolutionary concept in higher education which is set to welcome its first class of students in August, will make its permanent home at 1 Stiles Road, Suite 104 in Salem, the college announced today.

"The site is very accessible to I-93 and it is conducive to an ideal learning environment," said Maureen Mooney, the college's chief operating officer. "We expect that the comfortable classrooms, offices, and library will be fully equipped soon, and we are right on schedule to begin classes for the fall semester."

The ACHLS is a new senior college offering the junior and senior years of undergraduate education and it will grant bachelor's degrees with a major in history and legal studies. It is the only college in the country focusing exclusively on history.

Applications from students who have completed at least two years of college with a minimum of 60 credits are now being accepted, and credits earned from accredited four-year institutions and community colleges are easily transferred.

The ACHLS course work will be rigorous, with emphasis placed on students becoming critical thinkers, better writers, and polished public speakers. Graduates will be prepared to compete with anyone in today's intensely competitive marketplace.

Moreover, the high quality of education provided by the ACHLS is very affordable. While tuition continues to skyrocket at four year colleges all across the nation, annual tuition at the college is only $10,000 and half-tuition scholarships of $5,000 are available for qualified applicants.

Students at the college who wish to pursue a career in the legal field and are qualified will have a pathway into the Massachusetts School of Law, and they may combine their senior year at the ACHLS with their first year of law school at MSL to earn their law degree in six years instead of the traditional seven.
