School accreditation question---please help!

The nursing school I'm applying to is opening up a new campus close to home, so naturally I want to attend school there. The main university is CCNE accredited. Does this mean the new campus or extension of the university will automatically be CCNE accredited as well? Do new school locations have to apply to become accredited, or is it still under the "umbrella" of the main campus?

If they do have to become accredited, how long does that take? What does that mean for a nursing student? Thanks! I just don't want to make a big mistake!

    I've tried calling and emailing, but they're really busy. I didn't know if someone on this site knew anything about this. Thanks for your wise advice, though.

    Good for you for checking into this. Many students don't think to check accreditation.

    Take Stcroix's advice and check with CCNE themselves. You want to be very careful about going to programs that are not yet accredited and be sure to understand the risks if they do not gain accreditation.
