Program Accreditation

One of the key drivers in our strategic planning is achieving best-of-class status in our undergraduate and graduate program offerings.

For some programs, this includes a commitment to national or international accreditation. During the past few months, our colleagues in the Department of Chemistry (Drs. Floyd Jackson and Samuel Abegaz) and in the Department of Political Science (Dr. Kimberly Gill and Amber Dees) have worked tirelessly on their program submissions to the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and  Administration (NASPAA).

These Herculean efforts pertaining to our exceptional chemistry program and our robust public administration program have been essential to the positioning of our university. While there are absolutely no guarantees of approval for initial or subsequent submissions, these efforts have served to galvanize and focus faculty and programs and have been incredibly impressive and rewarding to all involved.
