CON to participate in accreditation process

In September MUSC College of Nursing is participating in a voluntary, comprehensive, self-study and national accreditation process conducted by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The purpose of CCNE accreditation is to ensure quality and integrity of baccalaureate and graduate education programs preparing nurses. Many facets of the college will be assessed to determine the extent to which the college achieves the state mission, educational philosophy and goals/objectives. CCNE serves to assess and identify programs that engage in effective educational practices, thereby contributing to the improvement of the public’s health. The on-site evaluation conducted to assess the College’s compliance with CCNE standards will occur during a three-day period, specifically Sept. 14-16.

Individuals are invited to submit signed, written comments about the College of Nursing to CCNE by Aug. 14. Please send all comments to the following person and address:
