Accreditation

Hello all just looking for clarification as to why some colleges or universities BSN programs are accredited by ACEN and some by CCNE?

    ACEN = associate degrees

    CCNE = Bachelor's and higher degrees.

    There is also a CNEA accreditation from NLN but I do not know a heck of a lot about it

    That's what I thought but a few of the schools I was looking at have ACEN accreditation with bachelors degrees so I'm confused

    I'm no expert on this (it's v. confusing), but I do know that the ACEN accredits higher level nursing programs as well, all the way up to doctorate. I don't know how long that's been the case; for years, it was easy to keep track: The NLN/ACEN accredited LPN, diploma, associate's, and BSN programs but no graduate programs, and the CCNE accredited BSN programs and graduate programs. Now, not so much.

    I am also curious about the relationship and differences between the ACEN and CNEA. Both are accrediting agencies that are subsidiaries of the NLN? Huh?
