St. Elizabeth College of Nursing in Utica Keeps National Accreditation Through 2034
St. Elizabeth is Utica's hospital-affiliated nursing school under Mohawk Valley Health System, and national accreditation is something students, employers and transfer schools look for.
St. Elizabeth College of Nursing in Utica has earned continuing national accreditation for its associate degree nursing program from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), Mohawk Valley Health System announced this week, WKTV reported.
The college's accreditation page lists the ACEN accreditation as running through 2034. The program has held ACEN accreditation since 2005, and the college as a whole is separately accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education through 2028.
College president Joanne Weinschreider said the result reflects the school's focus on preparing nurses to give skilled, caring patient care.
Thinking about nursing school? ACEN accreditation means the program met national standards for curriculum, faculty and student outcomes. Program and admissions details are at secon.edu.
