The ACEN accreditation process involves several key steps:
Self-Study Report: The nursing program conducts a comprehensive self-assessment and prepares a detailed report that addresses ACEN standards and criteria. Site Visit: An ACEN evaluation team visits the institution to verify the information in the self-study report and to assess the program's compliance with accreditation standards. Review and Decision: The evaluation team submits a report to ACEN, which then makes an accreditation decision based on the findings. Continuous Improvement: Accredited programs must submit periodic reports and undergo regular reviews to maintain their accredited status.
