Accreditation

Published

Hello everyone!

What are some reasons that a school may voluntarily withdraw from being evaluated by the ACEN?

Also, what would make it so a school would need a follow-up?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance. ;)

I don't know if this answers your questions but this was a program I was enrolled in and later dropped out of. I can't stress enough how much people need to examine every detail of the school they enroll in. This school was also sued a few years later.

Wow! I am completely shocked at the dean's ignorance; having your program evaluated is well worth it's weight in gold, to both the school and their students futures. Thank you so much for your post.

I'm wondering if it is just a matter of calling the schools in question? Or, if I should make the call to the ACEN?

The answer = money. Maintaining ACEN accreditation is as expensive as heck. Many nursing programs are voluntarily dropping the ACEN accreditation and opting for CCNE accreditation, and some schools of nursing are choosing to become unaccredited altogether.
