Abstract | This survey and its findings provide a comprehensive look at U.S. recognized institutional and programmatic accrediting organizations and what they report about how they address the challenge of innovation with quality in higher education. Conducted for the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) by NORC at the University of Chicago in 2018, the work is a continuation of CHEA's longstanding commitment to encourage, lead and support greater capacity-building in accreditation to meet the challenge to innovate throughout higher education. The need for enhanced workforce development combined with ongoing concern about college affordability have also placed a premium on innovation. A key part of this attention to innovation is assurance of quality, with accreditation as central to achieving this goal. Four key points emerge from the survey: (1) Accrediting organizations, in general, view themselves as moderately innovative; (2) Innovation, as described by accrediting organizations, most often referred to distance education, competency-based education, changes in accreditation standards and the frequency with which either accreditors, institutions or programs were undertaking substantive change as defined by the federal government in its oversight of accreditation; (3) While a number of accrediting organizations review partnerships between traditional institutions and alternative providers of higher education, the majority do not plan to expand their work to focus solely on alternative providers; and (4) Accreditors view funding constraints and the traditional higher education business model as barriers to innovation in their work.
