While both the CCNE and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) provide accreditation for nursing programs, there are some differences between the two. CCNE specifically accredits baccalaureate and higher degree programs, while ACEN accredits a broader range of nursing programs, including diploma and associate degree programs. Both agencies aim to ensure high-quality nursing education, but they serve different segments of the educational spectrum.
