ACEJMC Accredited Undergrad Programs: Additional Data
The charts below include additional information about journalism and public communication, the undergraduate SOC programs accredited by
ACEJMC (Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication). The AU School of Communication is required by ACEJMC to make this specific information available to the public.
The two charts below only track students who declared as a journalism or public communication major at the point they originally enrolled in classes at AU, displaying the number of those original students who then continued and/or graduated as the same major they declared when originally enrolled. Students who changed their major are not counted in the retention or graduation numbers after they switched. Students who switched to journalism and public communication after first enrolling in classes are not included below.
The numbers represented in the charts below are small because a large number of AU students change or declare their major after first enrolling in classes. Additionally, many students start as an undecided major or undecided within the School of Communication. We encourage and assist students as they explore interests, abilities, and values. We guide students as they learn healthy goal setting and decision making techniques, which often lead to declaring or changing the academic major to better align their interests, abilities, values, and goals.
