Faculty Qualifications |
|
|
| A.C.E. instructors are highly-qualified, native speaking professionals. Many instructors have lived and traveled abroad and have extensive training and experience teaching English to students from around the world. The personal and academic qualities of A.C.E. instructors make each uniquely qualified to offer meaningful language-learning opportunities and to care deeply about their students. |

|
|
| The A.C.E. Center provides students with the opportunity to live in on-campus dormitories or enjoy a homestay experience. Students living on-campus will be close to classes, campus activities and other students - both American and international. A.C.E. also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience American culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments may also be available near campus; A.C.E. staff will help students find reasonably priced, safe apartments.

| The A.C.E Center at Montana State University is nestled in the stunning university town of Bozeman, Montana, an intimate community of over 63,000 residents. Situated in the heart of the magnificent Rocky Mountain range, Bozeman is home to an eclectic breed of people who appreciate an unmatched quality of life. From ranchers, artists and professors to ski enthusiasts, high-tech engineers and entrepreneurs, the Bozeman community consists of people from backgrounds and cultures as diverse as the Montana landscape. Downtown Bozeman is outfitted with rows of historic turn-of-the-century buildings while more than 100 boutiques and restaurants line Historic Main Street, the city's charming retailing corridor. Surrounded by four mountain ranges, thousands of acres of the Gallatin National Forest and hundreds of miles of world-class fly-fishing streams, the area is truly an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Within minutes of downtown Bozeman, there are endless opportunities to go camping, hiking, mountain climbing, snowmobiling, ice-skating, boating, swimming and waterskiing. During the winter months, the area surrounding Bozeman is especially popular among ski and snowboarding enthusiasts as three challenging ski resorts - Big Sky, Moonlight Basin and Bridger Bowl - are located nearby. The phenomenally breathtaking Yellowstone National Park is less than an hour from downtown Bozeman, offering its visitors more than 2.2 million acres to explore its panoramic vistas, steaming geysers, crystal-blue lakes and impressive waterfalls. Yellowstone is the greatest wildlife sanctuary in the United States and was designated as the world's first National Park. |
