Description
The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) is the institutional membership association focused on advancing the aims of liberal education. AAC&U is a national resource and leader for keeping learning at the center of the work of higher education institutions.

Founded in 1915, the AAC&U membership is made up of accredited public and private colleges and universities of every type and size. AAC&U forges links between presidents, academic administrators, and faculty leaders to plan and implement effective educational programs as the means to strengthen their institutions.

AAC&U facilitates campus-based work on leadership and educational values; curricular purposes and involvement in learning; faculty and institutional development; diversity and educational excellence; and learning in the global community. Together, these priority areas encompass the liberal learning arena in which all institutions operate in order to serve contemporary students best.

AAC&U welcomes individuals and teams from higher education institutions to participate in its meetings, workshops, and grant-funded projects; to read and draw upon its journal and publications; and to connect with its staff members and its strong network of campus colleagues.
