Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS) is pleased to announce that, effective 13 September 2026, it has become an Institutional Member of the Council of Higher Education & Accreditation Researching (CHEAR).
CHEAR is an independent professional membership organization. This membership connects ACLAS with a professional community of educators, researchers, and institutions, supporting accreditation awareness, educational research, staff development, and continuous quality improvement in higher education.
What Membership Involves
The value of this affiliation lies in professional engagement and shared practice. For ACLAS, the membership provides an additional channel for staying connected to ideas and perspectives related to higher education, quality assurance, educational research, and institutional development. It forms part of a broader effort to remain informed about developments in the field, and to reflect on how those developments can support our programs and learning environment.
Supporting Research and Professional Development
Quality education depends on evidence and on the people who deliver it. ACLAS views continued engagement with educational research and professional development as an important part of institutional growth. Through its CHEAR membership, ACLAS intends to take part in professional exchange and to explore opportunities for faculty and staff to develop their knowledge and practice. These activities can contribute to the ongoing development of the learning experience we provide to students.
A Continuous Commitment to Quality
Continuous improvement is central to ACLAS's approach to education. This membership supports that commitment by providing an additional professional affiliation through which ACLAS can engage with ideas and practices related to educational quality and institutional development. It aligns with our broader goal of providing online learning that is accessible, academically strong, and responsive to the needs of learners around the world.
What This Means for Students
For students, the benefit of this membership is indirect. It relates to the work that takes place behind the programs they study: the development of courses, the professional growth of educators, and the continued review of academic and educational practices. As ACLAS continues to develop its programs and learning environment, professional affiliations such as this provide additional opportunities for reflection, learning, and institutional improvement.
Looking Ahead
Joining CHEAR marks another step in ACLAS's continued institutional development. We look forward to engaging with educational professionals, exchanging ideas, and applying relevant learning to the ongoing development of our programs and academic community.
As ACLAS continues to grow, we remain committed to accessible, flexible, and academically strong education for learners around the world.
