Virginia Western Community College’s Nursing Program is positioned for the future, achieving Continuing Accreditation status through 2032.
The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) bestowed the designation on the Associate of Applied Science degree program in April and notified the College in May following an extensive process.
ACEN did not mark any stipulations on Virginia Western’s accreditation status, and the organization has scheduled the next evaluation visit for fall 2032.
