Meet Ahmad Salem

August 20, 2025

We first spoke to Ahmad Salem in 2021 after he used Modern States and CLEP to earn his associate’s degree prior to graduating high school. Ahmad didn’t stop there. The 23-year-old software engineer already earned his doctorate. He recently shared how Modern States gave him something more valuable than anything else during his education: time.
