Academic Common Market
The Academic Common Market (ACM) is a tuition-savings program sponsored by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). Offered to all college students pursuing degrees not offered by their in-state institutions, the ACM allows students to attend out-of-state institutions (offering their desired degree program) and pay the in-state tuition rate. Students participating in the ACM are not eligible for the merit or metro scholarships.
The approved ACM majors at Shepherd University include:

The ACM is not automatic and Shepherd University is not involved in the certification process. Students must apply for the program through their home-state ACM office. Learn more about the application process on the SREB website.
