Institution Accreditation Database
Postsecondary Educational Institutions and Programs Accredited by Accrediting Agencies and State Approval Agencies Recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education http://www.ope.ed.gov/accreditation/
The database lists approximately 6,900 postsecondary educational institutions and programs, each of which is accredited by an accrediting agency or state approval agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a “reliable authority as to the quality of postsecondary education” within the meaning of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).The database does not include a number of postsecondary educational institutions and programs that elect not to seek accreditation but nevertheless may provide a quality postsecondary education.The U.S. Department of Education recommends that the database be used as one source of qualitative information and that additional sources of qualitative information be consulted. This has been added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
