American College - July 16, 2008

The end our day, we met with Jorge Luis Agestas, the President of American College, a private higher education institute and students. American College is not government run. Students apply for admission and approximately half are accepted to the school to study. Currently enrollment is at 800 students. At American University, students have the option of five different majors and are not given a placement assessment to determine what they should be studying or what job they should take.

We had the good fortune of meeting with students that provided insight to the importance of their college education and why it is important for them to continue to foster democracy.
