Success in the higher education market requires efficiency and accuracy. But at the same time, the demands of business require you to find ways to accomplish more in less time and with fewer resources--all without sacrificing either efficiency or accuracy. For over 30 years, the Higher Education Directory has been the industry's most authoritative, trustworthy, and flexible information resource for who's who in higher education. As the only official successor to the U.S. Department of Education's Education Directory: Colleges and Universities, the Higher Education Directory is the go-to source for top executives in the higher education industry looking for information about academic and administrative personnel at accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities. The 2017 Higher Education Directory lists 5,274 accredited, degree-granting post-secondary education institutions in the United States. Listings include basic institutional profiles, detailed accreditation information, and contact information for over 89,000 chief academic and administrative personnel. The information in the Directory is directly obtained in an annual survey of eligible colleges and universities in the United States. Participating members of the higher education community are verified and updated with a 99% response rate. All institutions listed in the Directory are accredited by agencies recognized by the Secretary of Education and/or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.
