In a media release, the college said such accreditation “solidifies commitment to excellence in nursing education and ensures that its program meets rigorous standards of quality and effectiveness.
The process of accreditation for the standalone bachelor’s degree, according to associate dean Laralea Stalkie, began three years ago.“Three years ago, we were one of two colleges given the opportunity to provide nursing degree education at the college, instead of having a collaborative partnership with a university,” she said, noting that the recognition showcases the “quality of the nursing program” at the institution.
Along with the bachelor’s program, the college offers a transitional program for practical nurses to earn their bachelor’s degree in science nursing.
