The Minnesota Board of Nursing has approved the following professional nursing programs for the purpose of meeting the education requirements for licensure as a registered nurse. Approval is the authority granted by the board for a controlling body to offer a program designed to prepare students to meet the education requirements for licensure as a practical, professional or advanced practice registered nurse.
Accreditation is an external peer review process that evaulates the program's adherence to quality, continuous quality improvement, and program effectiveness set by the nursing profession. Accreditation is issued by a national accrediting agency, which are private, non-profit organizations. To view the current accreditation status of nursing programs, visit the accrediting agency website, as noted below.
