The University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Nursing will be reviewed for re-accreditation October 6-8, 2025 by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). This review will be an on-site evaluation of the Baccalaureate (BSN) program in nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program, and Post-Graduate APRN Certificate program.
In accordance with CCNE’s procedures, the Commission provides 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 for baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs must relate to the CCNE Standards for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2024) for education programs.
CCNE shares third-party comments with members of the evaluation team prior to the visit, 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 that relate to the accreditation standards. All third-party comments submitted to CCNE must be written in English, consistent with CCNE's policy on Conduct of Business in English.
Comments must be received by September 15, 2025, 21 business days prior to the first day of the on-site evaluation.
If you would like to submit a third-party comment for a program currently under review, please submit directly to thirdpartycomments@ccneaccreditation.org.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact CCNE staff at (202) 887-6791 ext. 268.
