Most ACU students volunteer regularly for community service, and enjoy the benefits of a vibrant internship program that gives them a valuable edge in the marketplace.

Abilene is a true college city, with three universities and six schools of higher education. Popular annual events include Sing Song and FilmFest, featuring student-produced work judged by Emmy-, CMT-, and MTV-award winners. The university’s 250-acre main campus is less than three hours from the DFW Metroplex, where ACU Dallas offers online graduate degrees.
