by Liz Bauman

Adelphi, MD (12/23/2021) — The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) recently announced that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) degree program at University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), has been granted reaccreditation for 10 years. The accreditation distinguishes the program for its quality and spotlights UMGC for providing education at the highest standard.

"I am proud of this accomplishment. This would not be possible if we didn't have an awesome team working on the program and dedicated faculty who ensure they are delivering a high-quality curriculum," said Mary C. Schroeder, DNP (Doctorate in Nursing Practice), who directs the UMGC program.

Recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, CCNE strives to improve public health by supporting and strengthening collegiate professional nursing education programs. Programs that seek accreditation from this agency undergo a rigorous evaluation by experts in the field.

"I am grateful for everyone's hard work to ensure that our students are receiving a quality degree that they can be proud of and will enable them to move forward in their careers," Dr. Schroeder said.

UMGC's RN to BSN program offers registered nurses an opportunity to advance in their nursing careers or move into other public health areas. It also aids in preparation for graduate studies. More information about the RN to BSN program and its course requirements are found at umgc.edu.
