Self-Study Tips
The heart of the accrediting process is the self-study, a systematic examination by the unit of its own mission, range of activities, accomplishments and plans for the future. The self-study should concentrate on the extent to which a unit achieves its goals.
Self-Study Tips is a downloadable document that offers helpful information on preparing a self-study for ACEJMC accreditation review. For more information on the purpose and importance of the self-study, consult the 2026-2027 ACEJMC Journalism and Mass Communications Accreditation Handbook, Part IV Process of Accreditation, Pages 28-32.
