ACADEMIC PROGRAM ENDORSEMENT POLICY

Preamble

AECT has a long history of developing standards for academic programs in the field of educational communications and technology, and providing program review based on its standards for these programs. While no longer an official accrediting body, AECT continues to be a leader in promoting academic programs in the field and encouraging excellence in the education of future professionals. Consequently, AECT has been approached to endorse such programs, including both degrees and certificates. Such endorsement is intended to validate the designated programs, which may provide a competitive advantage for the sponsoring institutions. In turn, endorsement serves to verify the integrity and standing of AECT as a leading professional association in the field of educational communications and technology
