School Facts: Accreditation
The University of Washington (UW) is accredited by the
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The UW is a member of
the Association of American Universities. The UW School of Nursing offers five degree programs: The BSN, the MN (both a regular MN and a Master's Entry track--MEPN), MS, DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) and PhD. The BSN, MN, and MS programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) through the Year 2010. The Nurse Midwifery MN program is fully accredited by the Division of Accreditation (DOA) of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) through the year 2008. The Pediatric Nurse Practitioner MN program is accredited by the National Certification Board of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and Nurses through the Year 2007.
The University of Washington School of Nursing has over 400
students, including approximately 300 graduate students; 115
tenured faculty, research faculty and instructors; over 600
clinical faculty; and 42 adjunct and affiliate faculty. It has
received top ranking nationwide in all five surveys of schools
of nursing conducted since 1984. This distinction is based on
faculty excellence and productivity, quality of graduates, and
school leadership. The School of Nursing is an integral part
of the Warren G. Magnuson Health Sciences Center, along with
the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Public Health
and Community Medicine, and Social Work and three teaching and
research hospitals, the University of Washington Medical Center,
Children's Regional Hospital and Medical Center, and Harborview
Medical Center. The Health Sciences Library and five research
and training centers and institutes (Alcoholism and Drug Abuse
Institute, Center on Human Development and Disability, Center
for Research in Oral Biology, Northwest Regional Primate Center,
and Institute on Aging) share a vital partnership with the academic
programs of the Health Sciences Center.
