About the Big Ten Academic Alliance
The BTAA is a strategic partnership dedicated to advancing the academic excellence of member institutions through national leadership, collaboration, and co-investments.
Founded in 1958 by university presidents as the academic counterpart to the Big Ten athletic conference, our world-class research institutions have built upon decades of trust—and a history of collaboration—to create a powerful framework integral to each member university. BTAA programs and initiatives create strategic and demonstrable value for member institutions. Supported programs have a clear and common distinction, such as strong member affiliation or a collection of unique resources.
