Accreditation Evaluation
The School of Nursing at the University of Sioux Falls will be hosting a team of evaluators representing our programmatic accreditation body, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), on October 15, 16, and 17, 2025.
As part of the evaluation process, stakeholders have an opportunity to submit third-party comments regarding the program's qualifications. The program being evaluated is the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
Third-party comments must relate to the CCNE Standards for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2024), which can be found here: https://www.aacnnursing.org/Portals/0/PDFs/CCNE/CCNE-Education-Standards-2024.pdf.
Written third-party comments will be received by CCNE until 21 days before the scheduled on-site evaluation or by September 24, 2025. CCNE shares third-party comments only with only the evaluation team.
Third-party comments are invited in writing to:
