Institutional Membership
Eligibility
Any college or university that is accredited by one of the US regional accrediting bodies, or is a formal candidate for institutional accreditation, is eligible for membership. College and university system or district offices, state higher education agencies, and institutions of higher education outside the United States that are authorized to grant degrees by their national governments are also eligible.
Benefits
Institutional member benefits include significantly discounted access to resources and events. Designated individuals receive a print subscription to Liberal Education, AAC&U's award-winning magazine, and everyone affiliated with the institution gains full online access to the magazine.
Dues
For colleges and universities, membership dues are based on full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment. For system or district offices and state agencies, dues are set at a flat rate.
