The Higher Education Directory^® is the only "official" successor to the U.S. Department of Education's directory that ceased publication in 1984.

It is the only source for listing institutions that offer degrees whose accreditations are recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) approved programs by former COPA and CORPA members.

If an institution is not listed in the Higher Education Directory,^® it is a clue it may not be accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, CHEA.

With regard to accreditation, we simplify the verification process for the user.

There are 82 regional, specialized and professional agencies that comprise 132 types of institutional and programmatic accrediting. We check with each of the agencies for the latest changes. There are over 17,000 accreditations that are validated each year.
