Accreditation
Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is an autonomous accrediting agency contributing to the improvement of the public's health. CCNE ensures the quality and integrity of baccalaureate and graduate education programs preparing effective nurses.
CCNE serves the public interest by assessing and identifying programs that engage in effective educational practices. As a voluntary, self-regulatory process, CCNE accreditation supports and encourages continuing self-assessment by nursing education programs and the continuing growth and improvement of collegiate professional education.
All eligible School of Nursing programs, both graduate and undergraduate, were reaccredited by CCNE in 2010. The Master of Nursing program is also fully recognized by the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the Registered Nursing licensure examination (N-CLEX).
