A&T Seeks National
Accreditation for
Department of Chemistry
A&T State University has
moved a step closer to national
accreditation for its Department
of Chemistry with the initiation
of an evaluation by the American
Chemical Society.
Heading the evaluation team
for the University is Dr. Erling
Grovenstein Brown, professor of
chemistry at Georgia Tech.
"We are extremely pleased
with our progress to have this
school accredited," said Dr. Walter
Sullivan, acting chairman of
the A&T Department of Chemistry.
"We expect to be given
our final report at the American
Chemistry Society's annual meeting
in Boston next April."
The ACS's evaluation committee
spent most of the past week
at A&T, checking the Department
of Chemistry's strengths in
faculty, curriculum, facilities,
including laboratories and library,
and budget.
Founded in 1928, the Department
of Chemistry currently has
45 majors and services another
2,021 students in other departments.
The department offers
majors in both professional and
teaching chemistry and also has
a graduate program.
The department has 10 fulltime
professors, six of them
holding doctorate degrees.
Sullivan said that only five
other predominately-black colleges
have ACS approved departments
of chemistry. If the A&T
department receives accreditation,
it would be the second national
approval to be received
in three years.
The university's School of Engineering
has been accredited by
the Engineers' Council tor Professional
Development.

re Also adding to the increase of
n, band membership is the unusually
high retention of sophomores
