About the Organization
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is the coordinating body for the nation's preeminent system of postsecondary education, which includes 15 four-year and 24 two-year public colleges, as well as more than 30 nonprofit and 300 for-profit private schools. SCHEV is responsible for: developing and promoting an educationally and economically sound, vigorous, progressive and coordinated system of higher education; facilitating collaboration among postsecondary institutions that enhances academic quality and operational efficiency; developing and submitting recommendations to the executive and legislative branches on budgetary and policy matters; and providing advisory and/or regulatory guidance to institutions.
In 2014, SCHEV developed The Virginia Plan for Higher Education, a statewide strategic plan. Updated and approved in January 2021, Pathways to Opportunity: The Virginia Plan for Higher Education is designed to identify trends that the Commonwealth must address if it is to continue to prosper and succeed. The plan provides a roadmap for Virginia to be the "Best State for Education" by 2030. In order to do so, it will fulfill its mission of advancing equitable, affordable and transformative higher education.
While SCHEV is responsible for management of The Pathways plan, execution relies on collaboration among institutions, K-12, general assembly members and staff, Governor's staff, and other key stakeholders. Ongoing communications, including progress on the measures and targets, as well as initiatives are critical to meeting the needs of the Commonwealth and its citizens.
SCHEV aspires to be a great place to work. It is an environment of public servants committed to developing an educationally and economically sound, vigorous, progressive and coordinated system of higher education in Virginia. We value honesty, quality, diversity, inclusion, growth-orientation, personal well-being, equity, transparency and accountability. And we seek team players who will advance these values through their work and engagement.
SCHEV's offices are located in Virginia's capitol city of Richmond. The City is the convergence point of college campuses, the state government seat, a strong entrepreneurial spirit and historical sites. This combination has resulted in a thriving eclectic culture and foodie destination. The growing city juncture is centrally located and less than two hours from the nation's capital, beautiful beaches and scenic mountains.
