August, 2007.
The
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) will conduct an
on-site evaluation at the University of North Alabama on
November 7 - 9, 2007
to
review the College of Nursing and Allied Health’s (CONAH) newly
implemented MSN program. The CONAH baccalaureate nursing program is
accredited by CCNE. The on-site evaluation is a component of the
accreditation process by CCNE.
To be accredited by
CCNE, colleges are required to evaluate their programs according to
several core standards. One of the standards specifies that the program
applying for accreditation must notify their community of interest of
the opportunity to submit written, third-party comments to CCNE.
This notification is to inform students, alumni, faculty, employers,
clinical agencies and the general public that written and signed third
party comments will be accepted by CCNE until 30 days before the
scheduled visit. Third party comments should be addressed to:
