History
ACI was established in 1989 and originally located in Beebe, Arkansas. In 2011 it announced its relocation to Sarasota, Florida.
In 2007, the St. Petersburg Times quoted Alan Contreras, the leader of Oregon's Office of Degree Authorization (an organization that follows questionable accrediting agencies) as saying, "Anything accredited by ACI in Beebe, Ark., is either fake or substandard, as far as I know."
