School of Nursing

The School of Nursing provides students with innovative degree programs that meet the educational and career needs of licensed registered nurses who want an alternative to campus-based instruction. The flexible, self-paced programs serve the educational needs of RNs, society’s healthcare needs, and the nursing profession’s need for an increased pool of competent nurse educators. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program offered by the School of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). 

The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) conducted a site visit for the School of Nursing for accreditation of its RN to BSN/MSN degree programs on Nov. 5-7, 2008.  The evaluators read a preliminary report, which stated the School of Nursing was in compliance with all of the commission's standards and key elements and no recommendations for program improvement were offered. A final accreditation decision will be made by the CCNE board in the spring of 2009.
