Herzing University recently received 10 years of continuing accreditation for its online nursing programs, the maximum accreditation period offered by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The accredited programs include the online RN to BSN program, Master of Science in Nursing (including Family Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator) programs, and the Post Master’s FNP Certificate for family nursing.
Pat Edwards, Associate Vice President for nursing accreditation and regulatory affairs at Herzing, tells Herzing.edu:
“The 10-year accreditation acknowledges that our online programs meet specific national standards, and students can feel confident that they will adequately prepare them for nursing practice at each degree level. Accreditation is also important for individuals who may want to further their education, as most post-grad programs require a degree from an accredited program.”
Herzing’s online nursing programs meet all accreditation criteria set by the CCNE including institutional resources, quality curriculum and teaching practices, and program outcomes related to completion rates, pass rates, and employment. The university also has an evaluation plan in place to regularly assess their programs for meeting CCNE accreditation standards.
Students enrolled in the online nursing programs at Herzing benefit from the flexibility of completing coursework on their own schedule and access to supportive faculty who have strong professional credentials. To learn more about Herzing’s online nursing programs, visit here.
