AAU成员学校均堪称世界一流大学,比如哈佛大学、麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学、密苏里大学等世界顶尖水平的大学。
AAU的62所会员大学在全美3638所高等教育机构中仅占极少数,但AAU成员大学每年授予全美约半数的博士学位,约22%的硕士学位和约16%的学士学位,其研究经费是全美所有大学总和的55%。AAU大学整体实力都大大高出于其他学校,如AAU大学的院士数量是非AAU大学的21.68倍, 其总研究经费是全美所有大学总和的55%,可见其在北美高等教育机构中的影响力。 发表论文数为5.47倍,联邦资助研究经费为3.46倍,授予专利数量是2.94倍等。

AAU是北美高等教育质量保证
几乎就在AAU成立之时,德国的大学就开始以AAU成员资格作为研究生入学质量的衡量标准。为了保证声誉,AAU的创始人不希望该协会发展得太快,因此他们并没有选择直接扩充成员,而是在1914年开发一份美国高等教育机构的名单,这些机构的毕业生被认为有能力在欧洲大学取得成功。
AAU至今仍然是一个只接受邀请的协会,会员资格标准被广泛认为是一流研究型大学的质量标准。北美大学联盟每年有两次成员大学的交流会议,秋季会议会在成员大学的校区举行,春季会议在华盛顿特区举行。成员大学指派首席执行官参加北美大学联盟的会议。执行委员会负责整个机构的运作。除了执行委员会以外,联盟同时也有成员大学委员会。
