The Academic Common Market (ACM)
The Academic Common Market is a cooperative tuition-reduction agreement among the sixteen states that participate in the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), which was created in 1948 by Southern governors and legislatures to help leaders in education and government work cooperatively to advance education and improve the social and economic life of the region.
