In 2007, the institute received another approval from the National Accreditation Board to offer Bachelor of Arts degree courses and became known as the African University College of Communications (AUCC) becoming the first university in Africa to offer journalism and communication studies as its flagship.
In 2010, AUCC was again granted accreditation by NAB to offer Bachelor of Science degree courses in Business Administration.
