ACEJMC Accreditation Seal

The Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications is pleased to provide the ACEJMC-accredited program seal. The ACEJMC seal conveys to your current and prospective students, as well as your communities of interest, a strong commitment to the highest national standards for education in journalism and mass communications. Displaying the seal also signifies your program's commitment to rigorous assement and continuous improvement. We encourage you to proudly display your program’s accredited status by publishing the seal on your unit's website and in program materials.
