After a rigorous evaluation and on-campus inspection, Montgomery County Community College has once again received reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.

As a result, the Nursing program can continue to graduate students who are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination, which is required to become a licensed registered nurse.

To receive the reaccreditation which lasts for 8 years, a nursing program has to meet a number of specific criteria as well as show continuous program evaluation and improvement. The standards include a review of the program’s administration, faculty, students, curriculum, resources, and outcomes.

The reaccreditation of the program exemplifies the high standards that are already set in place at MCCC, said Nursing Program Director Dr. Linda Roy.

“It speaks to the excellence of the program,” she said. “The faculty is continuously looking at all aspects of programs in order to engage in improvement based on data.”

The program currently has 14 full-time faculty members, a manager of the Simulation and Skill Suite, and around 47 part-time faculty members. Students are admitted and graduate three times a year, with 195 students enrolling in the program during the spring semester.

“It’s a quality program,” said Roy.
