**PHOENIX, AZ, June 8, 2022** —
[Arizona College of Nursing](https://www.arizonacollege.edu/) announced today
that
[the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education](https://www.aacnnursing.org/CCNE)
(CCNE), has reaccredited the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program for
ten years. This is the maximum amount of time the CCNE grants accreditation
signifying that the program has consistently engaged in high-quality, effective
educational practices.

Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national
accreditation agency, CCNE is an autonomous accrediting agency contributing to
the improvement of the public’s health. CCNE ensures the quality and integrity
of baccalaureate, graduate, and residency programs in nursing. Accreditation by
CCNE means that the School of Nursing has met the commission’s high standards
for preparing nurses to practice competently at the baccalaureate degree level.

“Arizona College of Nursing is thrilled to receive reaccreditation from CCNE”,
said Dr. Amber Kool, DNP, RN, Associate Provost. “Our staff and faculty work
diligently to prepare students for successful careers in nursing. Receiving CCNE
reaccreditation for the maximum ten years is especially gratifying as it
recognizes our collective commitment to providing our students with a
high-quality educational experience.”

The rigorous year-long evaluation included a comprehensive self-study of the
school’s baccalaureate program by the CCNE accrediting team. Graduating from an
accredited program is essential for students who choose to continue their
education and for many employers. CCNE serves higher education institutions
throughout the United States to foster continuous quality improvement in nursing
programs.
