Bronson School of Nursing reaccredited for 10 years

The Bronson School of Nursing has been notified by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) that the baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Western Michigan University has been accredited for 10 years, extending through 2027.

The CCNE board determined that the program met all four accreditation standards and found no compliance concerns with respect to key elements of the program.

The accreditation process is always long and arduous, requiring a great deal of documentation along with a site visit from the accrediting body, which occurred over the summer.

"I want to congratulate Dr. Mary Lagerwey and the faculty and staff of the Bronson School of Nursing," said Dr. Earlie Washington, dean of the College of Health and Human Services. "This accreditation review outcome is another indicator that our nursing program is, indeed, a high-quality program preparing our students for success after graduation."
