CECU Membership

The Sector’s National Voice
Outcomes that benefit our Students, our Schools, our Sector!
The postsecondary career education sector consists of schools engaged in the delivery of occupational skills leading to real jobs, real wages, and a real chance for personal/professional success. We are a proud sector of higher education, meeting the needs of millions of students – all ages and backgrounds – seeking specific career skills and credentials.

Today, CECU serves as the national voice for this noble work. Representing over 670 campuses, CECU promotes, defends, and protects postsecondary career education. CECU serves all schools licensed by the states; accredited by a regional or national accreditor; and eligible to participate in the federal government’s Title IV Financial Aid programs.

Your membership in CECU is your commitment as a citizen of the sector. It reflects a recognition that we must speak with one voice, articulate one agenda, and advocate through a united and common message. CECU conducts research, develops policy, and defends the sector from Congress to the Executive branch and when necessary, in the courts.
Everyone benefits from the work of CECU. As a citizen of this sector, you owe it to yourself and others to become a member of the CECU family of schools. ​
