Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Eckerd is a member of the Annapolis and Oberlin groups of national liberal arts colleges.
Wireman Chapel, constructed in 1968–69, was originally named Griffin Chapel for Ben Hill Griffin Jr., a founding trustee of the college. It was renovated and rededicated to Billy O. Wireman, Eckerd's second president, in 2007.
