Tennessee Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Communication degree has received a new accreditation by the American Communication Association.
Tech’s Communication Department began the process for ACA accreditation three years ago with a preliminary meeting to see if Tech’s program was suitable for ACA accreditation. They met with the accreditation team last summer to discuss the process and timeline.
The university had to perform a self-study that proposed a clear plan for the future of the department. After the self-study, the accreditation team visited campus in April 2022. They completed a thorough examination of the program and submitted the report that granted accreditation in May 2022.
