College of Nursing passes reaccreditation
Getting credit where credit is due
University of Phoenix strives to achieve the highest educational standards in the nation. From its unmatched student support to its mission of making higher education accessible for every person in the world, the future of academics is changing.
As part of this ongoing effort, University of Phoenix is proud to announce that the College of Nursing at University of Phoenix passed its reaccreditation evaluation and received a full reaccreditation of its bachelor’s and master’s nursing degrees for 10 years from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
An accreditation of 10 years is the longest period of time for which the CCNE grants accreditation for nursing, which puts us on a list of other well-respected colleges and universities across the nation. This indicates the CCNE’s satisfaction and confidence that the College of Nursing is meeting and will continue to meet its rigorous standards for nursing education. The College of Nursing met all four standards of the CCNE with no concerns.
The U.S. Secretary of Education officially recognizes the CCNE as a national accreditation agency. The CCNE is an autonomous accrediting agency, contributing to the improvement of the public’s health while also ensuring the quality and integrity of baccalaureate, graduate and residency programs in nursing.
Since its inception in 1983, the College of Nursing at University of Phoenix has helped educate nurses all over the globe. Dean of the College of Nursing, Pam Fuller, Ed.D., RN said, “I am thrilled to have received confirmation of the CCNE reaccreditation. CCNE accreditation is an important national evaluation of program quality that students, alumni and the public-at-large can rely upon for assurance that the University of Phoenix College of Nursing degree is viewed with credibility and respect.
“Quite simply,” Fuller continued, “our goal is to develop nurse leaders who are excellent communicators and critical thinkers—who use evidence-based practice to influence the future of nursing and delivery of care—in any health care role they pursue.”
