UFCJC Receives Unanimous ACEJMC Reaccreditation
The University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (UFCJC) recently received a six-year reaccreditation from the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications. The College was honored with a unanimous vote by the Council review team and is reaccredited until the next review in the 2030-31 academic year.
UFCJC was evaluated on:
- Mission, Governance and Administration
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Assessment of Learning Outcomes
- Advancing a Culturally Proficient Workplace
- Faculty
- Student Services
- Resources, Facilities and Equipment
- Professional and Public Service
Accreditation in higher education is defined as a collegial process based on self-and-peer assessment for public accountability and improvement of academic quality. Peers assess the quality of an institution or academic program and assist the faculty and staff in improvement.
“This is an assurance of quality,” said UFCJC Dean Hub Brown. “It’s an assurance to the university, to the alumni, to the students and to the parents.”
He adds, “Accreditation is important for us to stay competitive as an institution. It is a guarantee that we abide by a set of standards that are generally shared around the country.”
The Council evaluates programs against the objectives that units and institutions set for themselves and against the standards that the Council sets forth for preparing students for professional careers in journalism and mass communications in the U.S. and in other nations.
