The ACCE accreditation is a testament to the College’s dedication to excellence and showcases its commitment to providing students with a comprehensive and industry-relevant education. Achieving ACCE accreditation demonstrates the strength and relevance of Dunwoody’s Construction Management curriculum, which equips students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience required for leadership roles in the construction field.
“With this announcement, Dunwoody becomes just one of three colleges or universities nation-wide, and the only one in the Midwest, to have achieved accreditation for both its Bachelor of Science and Associate of Applied Science degree programs in Construction Management,” said Provost Scott Stallman. “This second accreditation further demonstrates the strength of Dunwoody’s construction sciences programs, providing students and employers with the confidence of knowing the program is nationally distinguished.”
