About the role

The Department of Nursing is undergoing a process of growth and has received a corrective action letter from the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) related to the program completion rates. The program completion rate expected level of achievement was not met for the past three years (2025, 2024, and 2023). With the recommendation from the nursing accreditation body, it is essential that the nursing program develops and implements support strategies to improve the program completion rates. As shared by ACEN, “timely completion of a program study is a key indicator of educational quality and institutional effectiveness.”
