This type of accreditation indicates that the program has chosen to be evaluated and has been approved by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). Programs also must be evaluated and approved by their state board of nursing.
Graduating from an NLNAC approved program guarantees success by assuring that your education and practical experience meets with the highest national standards of nursing education. Graduates of NLNAC accredited programs are fully prepared to meet the challenges of nursing in the 21st century.
Some federal financial assistance and state entitlement programs require enrollment in an NLNAC accredited program.
Graduates of NLNAC approved programs know that they can take their credentials anywhere, either in the workplace, or for advanced nursing training.
NLNAC is the only nationally recognized agency to accredit ALL five types of post-secondary and higher degree education nursing programs including:
NLNAC is the largest and most experienced accreditor, with over 50 years of NLN experience.
NLNAC reviews and monitors more than 70 percent of the nation's nursing programs.
NLNAC is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), the national organization that coordinates accreditation activity in the U.S.
