Introduction to Membership

The Academy is a Department of Education approved accreditor of undergraduate colleges and programs. Within the US, there are three types of institutional membership:

  • Institutional Accreditation/Preaccreditation – For new or previous members of the Academy who want AALE to be their sole or accreditor of record, whether for purposes of Title IV or for academically oriented accreditation.

  • Program Accreditation – For colleges that are already institutionally accredited by another accreditor and want AALE to by their specialized accreditor for their degree granting liberal arts program, including honors colleges.

  • Certification – For colleges or programs within a college that do not offer the baccalaureate degree.
