The Mansfield University department of Health Sciences has received a full eight year accreditation of its Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
“Accreditation is a rigorous, voluntary process that assures prospective students and graduates from the program that it is not only a quality program, but that it’s curriculum flows from appropriate professional standards and is evidence-based,” Janeen Sheehe, chair of the Department of Health Sciences, said.
According to Sheehe, the accreditation indicates that the MU faculty have the academic and experiential qualifications and the university provides the resources required by the NLNAC.
“Nursing is facing a critical shortage in nurse faculty within the next few years, she added. “For Mansfield University, accreditation of our MSN program means that we are graduating nurse educators and nurse administrators who will, many times, work in our geographic area. It also indicates the currency and quality of our program.”
