About AAC&UAAC&U is the leading national association concerned with the quality, vitality, and public standing of undergraduate liberal education. Its members are committed to extending the advantage of a liberal education to all students, regardless of their academic specialization or intended career. Founded in 1915 by college presidents, AAC&U now represents the entire spectrum of American colleges and universities—large and small, public and private, two-year and four-year. AAC&U comprises more than 975 accredited colleges and universities that collectively educate more than five million students every year. AAC&U brings academic and faculty leaders together across sectors, divisions, and disciplines to explore the purposes of undergraduate education, the future of the academy, and strategies to foster institution-wide educational changes. Through AAC&U projects, publications, Network for Academic Renewal meetings, and summer institutes, faculty members and campus leaders across the country have opportunities to learn from one another and to influence the national dialogue about the central purposes of higher education, the changing nature and increasing importance of liberal education for all students, and the most effective means of ensuring student achievement in a variety of institutional settings.
