Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) is an association of 3,000 degree-granting colleges and universities, which also recognizes 60 institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations. Each accreditor is independent, which means the requirements vary from group to group. The association is based in Washington DC and approved by the United States Department of Education. The CHEA website contains a searchable database to check accreditation status of approved accreditation agencies, accredited schools, or schools currently in the process of getting accreditation. The database includes schools that are "candidates" for accreditation.

CHEA Board members

John D. Wiley, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is the chairman of the CHEA Board of Directors. A list of current CHEA board members is available at the CHEA web site.
