The American Association of Colleges and Universities is a global membership organization focused on advancing the democratic purpose of higher education. It promotes equity, innovation, and excellence in liberal education and pursues these aims through programs, events, publications, research, public advocacy, and campus-based projects. Its membership includes accredited public and private colleges and universities, state higher education systems, and institutions in more than 25 countries. Headquartered in Washington, DC, AAC&U operates as a mid-sized entity within the education administration field, serving as a catalyst and facilitator for improvements in educational quality and equity that support student success. In February 2025, the organization announced a collaboration with Join More Perfect to launch the Higher Education Democracy Exchange, a virtual platform designed to unite colleges and universities in advancing civic learning and democratic engagement across campuses nationwide.
