Accreditation for Nursing Programs

Accreditation from U.S. Accreditation is a mark of quality that is recognized by employers and other institutions of higher learning. It demonstrates that an institution's nursing programs have met or exceeded our standards of quality and excellence, and that graduates are well-prepared to succeed as nurses.

  1. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN): BSN programs typically take four years to complete and provide students with a foundation in nursing theory and practice, as well as general education courses in subjects like biology, anatomy, and psychology. Students in BSN programs learn about the healthcare system, patient care, and nursing ethics. They also gain clinical experience through supervised practice in hospitals and other healthcare settings. A BSN degree prepares graduates for entry-level nursing positions in a variety of settings.

  2. Master of Science in Nursing (MSN): MSN programs allow students to specialize in a particular area of nursing, such as nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or nurse educator. These programs can take two to three years to complete and require a BSN degree for admission. Students in MSN programs take advanced courses in nursing theory and research, as well as courses in their area of specialization. They also gain clinical experience through supervised practice in hospitals and other healthcare settings. An MSN degree prepares graduates for leadership roles in nursing, such as advanced practice nursing, administration, and education.

  3. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP): DNP programs provide advanced training in clinical practice, leadership, and research. These programs can take two to four years to complete, depending on the student's previous education and experience. Students in DNP programs take courses in advanced nursing theory, research, and clinical practice, as well as courses in leadership and healthcare policy. They also gain extensive clinical experience through supervised practice in hospitals and other healthcare settings. A DNP degree prepares graduates for roles in advanced practice, administration, and academia.
