The primary goal of ACCE is to promote and improve construction education in colleges, universities, and workforce education programs. By working together through ACCE, representatives from the entire construction community and the public at large, as well as construction educators and constructors, establish and maintain standards and criteria for accreditation, provide guidance to programs seeking to achieve accredited status, and carry out the accreditation process.

ACCE accreditation serves the interests of: 

• Students: by helping them identify institutions and programs that offer quality education in construction education. 

• The construction Industry: by enabling employers to identify persons who have the potential for making lasting contributions to the construction industry and their profession, and 

• Owners / Users of Constructed Facilities and the Public at Large: by raising the professional caliber of constructors and thus the quality of the construction for which they assume responsibility.
