Accreditation
The Department of Nursing participated in a national accreditation review by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) November 4-6, 2002.
Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education 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 in nursing.
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. (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2002)
The CCNE Board of Commissioners granted accreditation to our program for a full initial term of five years, extending to June 30,2008. The Board determined that our program met all accreditation standards, and there were no recommendations. We submitted a continuous improvement progress report in 2006, and our next on-site evaluation will take place in the fall of 2007.
Bemidji State University Department of Nursing announces that a national accreditation review by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) will be conducted on November 13-15, 2007. Written and signed third-party comments about the Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Program at BSU will be accepted by CCNE until October 13, 2007. Please send comments to:
