The Colorado State Board of Nursing has approved the programs of the Denver School of Nursing. This approval allows graduates the eligibility to take exams that are required for their professional goals.
On November 29, 2004, the Denver School of Nursing was granted Category II authorization from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) to deliver degree programs within the state of Colorado. The CCHE decision was based on information the school provided to CCHE which reflected the school's intent to seek accreditation with an appropriate accrediting agency. Accrediting agency policies prohibit educational organizations from identifying the agency, or the school’s progress, during the initial phases of its process.
The school intends to seek institutional accreditation with an agency acceptable to CCHE and to seek accreditation of its nursing programs from the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC). The school cannot guarantee when, or if, it will be successful in obtaining accreditation, but it will work to the best of its ability, within the timeframes and guidelines of the accrediting agencies, toward that goal. During this process, pursuant to the CCHE authorization, the school will award baccalaureate degrees to the graduates of its Upper Division Baccalaureate Program, and associate degrees to graduates of its Associate Degree in Nursing Program and (+1) Year Two Associate Degree Program.
