The African University College of Communications (AUCC) has received a Presidential Charter, that would elevate it to a fully autonomous university.
As a result, the institution has rebranded itself as the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB), reflecting its expanded mission to offer world-class education in communication, media studies, business, and entrepreneurship within a Pan-African context.
According to a press statement, the university expressed gratitude to several institutions that supported its journey, including the University of Ghana, University of Cape Coast, Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), University of Education Winneba, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, and the Ministry of Education.
“This significant accomplishment aligns with the University’s new name, African University of Communications and Business (AUCB), which embodies its expanded mission to provide world-class education and professional development opportunities,” said Prof. Isaac Abeku Blankson, President of AUCB.
Prof. Blankson further noted that the new status reaffirms the university’s commitment to equipping students with skills to thrive in an evolving economic and social landscape.
Founded in 2002 as the African Institute of Journalism and Communications (AIJC), the institution initially focused on journalism and communication, later expanding with the creation of the Sam E. Jonah School of Business in 2010.
As a chartered university, AUCB is expected to lead the way in producing professionals equipped to address the challenges of the modern world.
