FIU’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication receives reaccreditation

Florida International University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) announced today that it has been reaccredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). The Council vote was unanimous, as the school was found to be in compliance on all nine accreditation standards for excellence.

“This unanimous vote for reaccreditation recognizes the outstanding work done by our faculty and students,” said Raul Reis, dean of the school. “ACEJMC sets the international standards by which schools of journalism and mass communication are measured. This achievement places the SJMC among the top programs in the country.”

This is the fifth time that FIU’s SJMC has been accredited since 1991. Last weekend’s vote capped a rigorous six-year accreditation process that intensified in the past two years.

The SJMC is the only accredited journalism and mass communications program in South Florida, and one of only four accredited programs in the state of Florida.
