Institutional Memberships
Membership in the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) is institutional rather than individual. It is open to regionally accredited colleges, schools, and divisions of arts and sciences that grant the baccalaureate degree.
When an institution joins, all arts and sciences units on that campus can be included at no additional cost. To add additional units, consent from the dean of the college or school paying the membership dues is required.

Multi-Campus Institutions
CCAS uses the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education to determine campus structure and size.
- If a campus is listed as independent in the Carnegie database, a separate membership must be purchased for that campus.
- Institutions with questions about eligibility or structure are encouraged to contact the CCAS Office for guidance.
Who Can Participate
Individuals eligible for CCAS membership include:
- Deans
- Associate Deans
- Assistant Deans
CCAS also offers additional programming for department chairs and professional staff within the dean’s office. Explore our website to learn more about these opportunities.
Moving Institutions
If a member moves to another institution, their membership does not transfer automatically. To continue your engagement with CCAS, please contact the CCAS Office for assistance in setting up membership at the new institution.
