Public Notice of CCNE Accreditation Visit and Invitation for Third Party Comments
The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) is a nationally recognized accrediting agency for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs.
Wheaton College BSN Program will host an accreditation visit by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) from March 19 to 21, 2025. This visit aims to seek CCNE accreditation for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program.
As required by the CCNE procedures, at least two months before the scheduled evaluation. Wheaton College nursing program must notify its constituents, including, at a minimum, faculty teaching in and students enrolled in the program(s) under review, that an accreditation review is scheduled. This notification should indicate that written third-party comments will be received by CCNE until 21 days before the scheduled evaluation.
Written third-party comments must be received by CCNE by February 26, 2025.
All comments are to be directed to [email protected].
Or, if you prefer to direct comments by mail to:
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education
Attn: Third-Party Comments
655 K Street, NW, Suite 750
Washington, DC 20001
All third-party comments provide the opportunity for program constituents and other interested parties to submit, in writing, third–party comments concerning a program’s qualifications for accreditation. Third-party comments submitted to CCNE must be written in English, consistent with CCNE’s policy on Conduct of Business in English.
CCNE shares third-party comments with the evaluation team prior to the evaluation, but at no time during the review process are these comments shared with the program, the CCNE Accreditation Review Committee, or the CCNE Board of Commissioners. During its review of the program, the evaluation team considers third-party comments, if any, that relate to the accreditation standards.
