Council for Higher Education Accreditation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) is an association of 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities, which also recognizes 60 institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations. Each accreditor is independent, which means the requirements vary from group to group. The association is based in Washington DC and approved by the United States Department of Education. The CHEA website contains a searchable database to check accreditation status of approved accreditation agencies, accredited schools, or schools currently in the process of getting accreditation. The database includes schools that are "candidates" for accreditation.[citation needed] [1] CHEA's "user agreement for publications of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation" states that it does not guarantee that all accredited schools are listed in the database.
