About the Higher Education Directory

Authoritative · Accurate · Versatile

The Higher Education Directory is an indispensable reference resource dedicated to facilitating communication within the higher education community.

Authoritative
For over two decades, top executives in the higher education industry have trusted the Higher Education Directory to provide them with the information they need to communicate and analyze. Keeping pace with the dynamic higher education industry, the Higher Education Directory has become "The Authoritative Source" for information on who's who at colleges and universities.

The Higher Education Directory is the only single-source for academic and administrative personnel at accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities. Institutions listed in the Higher Education Directory are accredited by agencies recognized by the Secretary of Education and/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.

Accurate
With the phrase "consider the source" in mind, we go directly to the source to conduct our annual survey of every eligible college and university in the United States. Thanks to the excellent participation of the members of the higher education community, we are able to verify and update our information with a 99.9% response rate.

Our online editors constantly gather information on new appointments and recent retirements to continue the update processes throughout the year. Our same high standards for verification, editing and proofing apply to these interim updates.

Versatile
Available in three useful formats, the data in the Higher Education Directory database can be tailored to any need.

The online version of the Higher Education Directory is our most powerful tool. The online version allows the users to drill down into the data using a number of filters and sort options to quickly select just the information they need. The online user can send an email to an individual administrator or view an institution's web page with the click of a mouse and has access to interim updates.
