The Charge
▪ In order to maintain and elevate our status as a premier
academic institution, it is essential that the programs
offered at Howard University are of the highest academic
quality, and provide contemporary and exceptional
educational experiences to our students. As we prepare
for the University-wide accreditation process in 2019-
2020, it is critical that the University undertake a
comprehensive academic and administrative review
process to position the University to remain relevant and
positioned for a successful future.
