Barat College
Location





American College of Education purchased the assets of Barat College, which was affiliated with DePaul University.

In accordance with guidance from Illinois Board of Higher Education, American College of Education, Inc, has permission from the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) to operate in Illinois and to grant degrees for a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction and a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership in the Chicago Region (Region 10) and the North Suburban Region (Region 1), which was the former location of Barat College.

Barat College began as an academy for young women in Chicago in 1858 and moved to its Lake Forest, Illinois location in 1904. In 1918, the State of Illinois chartered Barat as a four-year college, and in 1982, Barat became a co-educational institution. To qualify for federal financial programs, governance of the college passed from the Society of the Sacred Heart to an independent Board of Trustees in 1969. In February 2001, because of fiscal concerns, Barat College formed an educational alliance with DePaul University, becoming one of DePaul's 7 colleges.

In February 2004, DePaul University voted to discontinue operating Barat College and began to accept proposals for the future of the college, culminating in the proposal for a relationship with American College of Education. Through its wholly owned Illinois subsidiary, American College of Education has acquired assets that comprise a substantial portion of the educational business of Barat College, including the library materials and (subject to necessary consents) permits and other authorizations by or of governmental authorities, education agencies, or other third parties.

In 2004, the campus was sold to Barat Woods, LLC and will develop condominums. The Old Main Building and courtyard will be preserved.
