Miami, November 15, 2011 - Miami Dade College’s (MDC) School of Nursing recently received the initial maximum five-year accreditation for its Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC).
NLNAC is responsible for the specialized accreditation of nursing education programs (Clinical Doctorate, Master’s, Baccalaureate, Associate, Diploma, and Practical programs).
The Commission has authority and accountability for carrying out the responsibilities inherent in the application of standards and criteria, accreditation processes, and the affairs, management, policy-making, and general administration of the NLNAC.
