Accreditation board reaffirms Brenau status as a doctoral degree-granting institution

ORLAND - The Board of Trustees of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges today reaffirmed Brenau University's 10-year accreditation a Level V doctoral degree-granting institution, an action that followed the university's unprecedented performance in the higher education accrediting agency's detailed examination of Brenau academic programs and business practices.

At the annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., the SACS membership also named Brenau University President Ed L. Schrader to a two-year term on the commission's Board of Trustees, which guides the organization's work in the accreditation process for hundreds of public and private colleges and universities in 11 southern states, the Caribbean, Latin America and Mexico.

Schrader said both actions were a testament to Brenau's extremely strong showing in the decennial accreditation review process
