Marian University earns highest accreditation in nursing

December 16, 2024

FOND DU LAC – The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) has renewed the accreditation of Marian University’s nursing programs for the next 10 years – the highest accreditation status granted to nursing programs nationwide. 

Associate Dean of Nursing and Chief Nursing Administrator Cheryl Seelig said CCNE’s renewal recognizes the quality of Marian’s program and the commitment of Marian faculty, staff and students to ongoing improvement.

“The CCNE evaluators praised the professionalism of our students, their deep understanding of the curriculum and the comprehensive data we collect to support student success,” she said.

Seelig said accreditation ensures program quality, qualifies students for federal financial aid and meets state nursing board requirements for graduates to take the NCLEX-RN exam, required to become a licensed, registered nurse (RN).

Included in the CCNE accreditation renewal are Marian’s:

• Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program
• Master of Science in Nursing degree programs
• Post-graduate certificate nursing program

“Our goal is to produce the best nursing professionals in the industry while preserving the close-knit, supportive campus experience that defines Marian,” Aaron Sadoff, president of Marian University, said.
