Accreditation

The Michigan Board of Nursing is the regulatory body that grants provisional and full approval of nursing education programs in the State of Michigan. Full approval of the Western Michigan University Bronson School of Nursing was granted in July 2002, following provisional status prior to that time.

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Western Michigan University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org).
