CCNE New Applicants

New Applicants for Accreditation


A program that does not hold accreditation by CCNE begins the accreditation review process by requesting applicant status. The CCNE procedures document describes the process for becoming a new applicant for accreditation. New applicants must submit an acceptable self-study document and host an on-site evaluation by CCNE within two years of the date of acceptance as an applicant.

Listed below are CCNE's new applicants for accreditation.
