NLNAC
Assuring Quality for the Future of Nursing Education.


The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) is nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the accrediting agency for postsecondary and higher degree nursing programs. NLNAC provides specialized accreditation for all types of nursing education programs (clinical doctorate, master's, baccalaureate, associate, diploma, and practical).

NLNAC supports the interests of nursing education, nursing practice, and the public by the functions of accreditation. Accreditation is a voluntary, self-regulatory process by which non-governmental associations recognize educational institutions or programs that have been found to meet or exceed standards and criteria for educational quality. Accreditation also assists in the further improvement of the institutions or programs as related to resources invested, processes followed, and results achieved.
   

Thank you to all that have attended the 
2008 Self-Study Forums in Chicago and Las Vegas. 

    
In response to the many requests, 
NLNAC is excited to announce the addition of a forum this fall in Orlando, Florida on October 6-7, 2008.
