The ACEN reviews its Accreditation Standards and Criteria every 10 years to ensure they reflect best practices in nursing education and align with current professional nursing practice. The next comprehensive review will begin in Summer 2026, with input invited from a broad range of stakeholders.
The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) supports the interests of nursing education, nursing practice, and the public by providing specialized accreditation for all levels of nursing education and transition-to-practice programs.
