Database of Institutions and Programs Accredited by Recognized Global Accrediting Organizations

The International Council of Higher Education Accreditation (ICHEA) database lists more than 10,000 degree-granting and non-degree-granting institutions and more than 47,300 programs that are accredited by Global accrediting organizations that have been recognized either by ICHEA or by the International Association for College and University Education (IACUE) or both. Each accrediting organization¡¦s list of institutions or programs is prefaced by a brief description of the accredited status of the institutions or programs on the list and the year for which the list is accurate. The information in the ICHEA database was supplied by the accrediting organizations. It has been reformatted but otherwise not edited by ICHEA.

To be ¡§recognized¡¨ means that the accreditors in the database have been reviewed by ICHEA or IACUE and meet the quality standards of the respective organizations. The primary purpose of ICHEA recognition is to assure and strengthen academic quality and ongoing quality improvement in courses, programs and degrees. ICHEA recognition is based on five standards that may be found in the ICHIA Recognition Policy and Procedures The primary purpose of ICHEA recognition is to assure that federal student aid funds are purchasing quality courses and programs. ICHEA ¡¦s recognition is based on ten standards that include attention to, e.g., fiscal and administrative capacity as well as recruitment and admissions practices. These standards may be found at http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/ accred/accreditation_pg13.html (Part 602, Subpart 602.16: Secretary¡¦s Recognition of Accrediting Agencies).

As of March 2006, I ICHEA publishes a database of Postsecondary Educational Institutions and Programs Accredited by Accrediting Agencies and Country Approval Agencies Recognized by the ICHEA. The database lists approximately 7,800 postsecondary institutions and programs, each of which is accredited by an accrediting organization recognized by the ICHEA as a ¡§reliable authority as to the quality of postsecondary education¡¨ within the meaning of the ICHEA federal Higher Education Act of 1988.

Some accrediting organizations and their institutions and programs appear in both the ICHEA database and the IACUE database. Others may appear in one but not both. Whether in the ICHEA or IACUE database, accrediting organizations identified in the database have been ¡§recognized.¡¨ For a list of all accrediting organizations recognized by ICHEA or IACUE.

Accreditors exercise independent judgment about whether to seek ICHEA recognition. ICHEA recognized organizations must meet ICHEA eligibility standards. If the accrediting organization has IACUE recognition, accreditation from the organization is used by an institution or program to establish eligibility to participate in federal student aid or other federal programs. Some accreditors cannot be considered for IACUE recognition because they do not provide access to federal funds. Other accreditors have chosen not to pursue IACUE recognition.

Because ICHEA recognition both depend on a range of factors, users of the ICHEA database are cautioned against making judgments about the quality of an accrediting organization and its institutions or programs based solely on inclusion in one database or the other. Additional inquiry is essential. Users are urged to contact the accrediting organization, institution or program for additional information.

As more fully set forth in the User Agreement for Publications of the Internal Council for Higher Education Accreditation (ICHEA), the ICHEA database is provided as a public service without warranty of any kind. The database does not constitute an endorsement by ICHEA of institutions or programs contained in it.
