Answer by EnglishGraduate
By going to the website below, you can see the US Department of Education's figures on how many accredited higher education institutions there are in the US: 6,900. I didn't dig deep enough to see the break downs, but this should get you started.
There is also a link to a page here that shows the accrediting agencies and with what areas these agencies deal.
The first website is the homepage for USDE, and the second is for the number quoted above.
