Accreditations

The University of Michigan is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS). Reaccreditation at the University level will be occurring in 2010. For more information regarding this process, please visit the University's Accreditation 2010 website.

All School of Nursing programs at the baccalaureate and master's level are accredited by the Collegiate Commission on Nursing Education (CCNE) and approved by the Michigan State Board of Nursing. The U-M School of Nursing’s reaccreditation process included a comprehensive site visit in October 2011 by four colleagues from other accredited nursing schools.  The team, which was appointed by the CCNE, closely investigated all aspects of the school’s BSN and MS curricula offerings and resources. The School received a very positive preliminary site report and, given the exemplary site visit feedback, anticipates receiving full reaccreditation after a final review meeting scheduled for early March 2012. 

The Nurse-Midwifery Track in the Parent-Child Nursing area is fully accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives, Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (visit the Accreditation Commission page of the ACNM website.)
