2019-20 Accreditation Self-Study
The Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) is the agency responsible for the evaluation of professional journalism and mass communications programs in colleges and universities. There are 117 schools accredited by ACEJMC. Oklahoma State University was first accredited by ACEJMC in 1948.
