Welcome

Welcome to Bethune-Cookman University's (B-CU) 2022 SACSCOC Reaffirmation website. Reaffirmation of accreditation is an essential multiyear process that involves each unit of the University to review itself and its processes against the SACSCOC Principles of Accreditation: Foundation for Quality Enhancement with ethical integrity and showcase our commitment to our core mission of instruction, research and service. It is our institutional report card as well as our opportunity to discover how we can improve through honest assessment of our programs, services and processes. This systematic self-study and review, required by SACSCOC, ensures that B-CU continues to enhance its educational quality. 

It is important for the entire campus to approach the reaffirmation process as a high priority. Our success depends on the collective dedication to this important endeavor in time, effort, and resources.  I thank those involved in both large and small ways, and I look forward to working together as we move forward to ensure that B-CU will continue to be an outstanding university.
