They are both residential and commuter, and with on-line degrees as well. Yet common to virtually every member institution are three qualities that define its work and characterize our common commitments.  These include a commitment as institutions of access and opportunity; as student-centered institutions; and as “stewards of place.”  AASCU has a strong commitment to fostering public service, united by the ideals of America's Promise. It hosts the American Democracy Project (ADP) is a multi-campus initiative focused on higher education’s role in preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy.
