The Communication Department is preparing a self-study in its bid for accreditation with the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). The department will host a team of academic and professional representatives this fall that will review the program and make its recommendation.
ACEJMC is the accrediting body for journalism, broadcasting, public relations, advertising, and similar programs. Of the approximately 800 U.S. colleges offering communication degrees, only 109 are accredited by ACEJMC. Just five are in New York State, and none are SUNY schools. Accreditation would put Buffalo State's communication program on a par with those at Syracuse, Columbia, and New York University.
More information about ACEJMC accreditation is available on the Communication Department Web site.
