• The American Council on Education (ACE) is the nation's unifying body for higher education. They have recognized the investment McDonald’s has made in people and the company’s high-caliber training curriculum.

• Hamburger University students can earn credit toward a college degree through their course work. The American Council on Education has recommended 100 percent of the restaurant manager and mid-management curriculum for college credit – a total of 46 credits.

• This means that McDonald's training for Managers is now recognized as college-level course work, eligible for credits that can be transferred to colleges and universities (both private and public) and applied toward a 2 or 4-year degree.

• The average restaurant manager has completed the equivalent of approximately 21 credit hours of college-level work through their McDonald’s training, which is equal to about one semester of college.

• We continue to work with colleges and universities to leverage our partnership with the American Council on Education.
