Accreditation
During its last review, the RN to BSN program was granted continuing accreditation by the CCNE for a term of three years until June 30, 2025. Maintenance of accreditation requires that programs demonstrate ongoing and sustainable compliance with all accreditation standards and key elements. To that end, the CCNE has also issued a show cause directive to the program, effective February 8, 2024, requesting additional evidence of compliance with certain specified standards and elements by August 1, 2024. Rowan University is committed to the quality of the RN to BSN program and fully expects that further reporting on our progress and achievements will address these concerns. Questions may be directed to the Head of the Department of Nursing and Chief Nurse Administrator, Dr. Mary Ellen Santucci (santucci@rowan.edu).
