LA Pierce College Spring 2020

Published

Hi! I applied for the Spring 2020 cycle at Pierce College. Just seeing if anyone else has too? Any news?

I noticed Pierce isn't ACEN accredited. Does that pose a problem later on if one decided to pursue a BSN and/or above?

However, the program is accredited by California Board of Registered Nursing (CBRN).

No, it doesn't pose as an issue in the slightest. The college even has BSN bridge programs with a few universities that a few of my peers are already partaking in concurrently with our Associate's program. ACEN accreditation is just another formality, but does not necessarily attest to the validity nor value of a program's existence and quality. Hope that answers your question!
