Position Statement
on Accreditation of International
Nursing
Education Programs
____________________________________
NLNAC is committed to
quality in all types of nursing education programs and encourages
self evaluation, peer review, and the promotion of educational
equity, access, and mobility through the functions of accreditation.
Recognizing that educational institutions are expanding their
programs to foster access and that such expansion initiatives
increasingly involve global outreach efforts, NLNAC will extend the
benefits of accreditation to include those programs with activities
of global engagement.
NLNAC asserts that accreditation is a voluntary, self-regulatory
process by which non-governmental entities recognize educational
institutions or programs that have been found to meet or exceed
standards and criteria for educational quality. NLNAC acknowledges
that nursing education programs located outside of the United States
and its territories can benefit from adherence to best practices and
generally-accepted guidelines for nursing education incorporated in
the NLNAC Standards and Criteria. In order to fulfill its mission to
support the interests of nursing education, nursing practice, and
the public, NLNAC seeks to broaden the impact of accreditation to
encompass nursing education programs across the globe.
Therefore, in a spirit of cooperation, openness, and mutual respect
consistent with its organizational values, NLNAC has initiated the
development of a model for accreditation and related services for
international nursing education programs.
