The SCTCC Practical Nursing program is seeking continuing accreditation through ACEN.
The accrediting body will be visiting campus September 29-October 1 in the Health Science Building.
The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) supports the interests of nursing education, nursing practice, and the public by providing specialized accreditation for all levels of nursing education programs. The ACEN is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization, and participation in its accreditation process is voluntary.
The ACEN is recognized as an accrediting body by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). The ACEN is one of the largest specialized accrediting agencies, accrediting nursing programs throughout the United States, its territories, and internationally.
As the leader in nursing education accreditation, the goal of the ACEN is to be a supportive partner in strengthening the quality of nursing education programs.
