The graduate and undergraduate UT nursing programs have been awarded
continuing accreditation by the Board of Commissioners of the National League
for Nursing Accrediting Commission Inc., formerly the National League for
Nursing.
National accreditation establishes that all of the nursing programs offered
at UT meet national standards in curriculum, quality and preparation of faculty,
teaching and learning resources, and achievement of established learning
outcomes.
Many agencies and employers that provide funding for nursing students require
that they be enrolled in programs that are nationally accredited.
UT nursing programs include the four-year baccalaureate in nursing science,
the RN to BSN, and the master's degree in nursing, including family and adult
practitioner and nursing education concentrations.
The NLNAC accreditation has been awarded to both the
undergraduate and graduate nursing programs until September 2011.
