- Barat College began as an academy for young women in Chicago in 1858 and moved to its Lake Forest
location in 1904. In 1918, the State of Illinois chartered Barat as a four-year college, and in 1982, Barat became a
co-educational institution. To qualify for federal financial programs, governance of the college passed from the Society of
the Sacred Heart to an independent Board of Trustees in 1969. In February 2001, because of fiscal concerns, Barat College
formed an educational alliance with DePaul University; and while Barat College remained a separate institution, the Barat
campus became a campus in the DePaul University system.
- In February 2004, DePaul University voted to discontinue operating Barat College and began to accept
proposals for the future of the college, culminating in the proposal for a relationship with American College of Education.
Through its wholly owned Illinois subsidiary, American College of Education has acquired assets that comprise a substantial
portion of the educational business of Barat College, including the library materials and (subject to necessary consents)
permits and other authorizations by or of governmental authorities, education agencies, or other third parties.
- American College of Education is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools
