National Accreditation

Accreditation of a nursing program refers to approval by a national organization, verifying that the degree-granting program meets educational standards. At Capital University, both the baccalaureate program in nursing (prelicensure), the BSN-completion program for RNs, and the Master of Science in Nursing are fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. In addition, the BSN prelicensure program holds authorization from the Ohio Board of Nursing. Accreditation assures that students will receive sound preparation for graduate school. It also means that courses will transfer to similar institutions of higher learning. Graduates of accredited programs are sought out by prospective employers.
