Accreditation

The nursing program received initial approval from the Tennessee Board of Nursing in December 2003. The program was granted full accreditation in 2006 by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).

Licensure

Upon completion of degree requirements, each student must make application to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Professional nurses are prohibited in all states from practicing nursing until the examination is successfully completed and licensure has been granted. Specific information regarding licensure will be provided to the student during the last quarter of the nursing program.

*It is important to remember that completion of any undergraduate program does not guarantee successful admission into or completion of professional and scientific graduate degree programs. Admission to graduate degree programs is competitive and typically based upon a combination of requirements that includes cumulative grade point average, program-specific admission tests, letters of recommendation and, in some cases, related experience outside the classroom. It is the student's responsibility to contact the graduate degree program for current information regarding requirements and application deadlines.
