St. Clair College and the University of Windsor have received the maximum seven-year accreditation for the Collaborative Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) and Registered Practical Nurse Pathway to BScN programs.
The accreditation comes from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN), which is the national accrediting body for nursing education in Canada.
This recognition marks the highest possible term length for accreditations, only given to programs that exceed expectations, also recognizing the strength of curriculum, level of student support, quality of faculty and commitment to innovation and improvement.
According to the CASN, its accreditation seal means the "program meets high academic standards" and the school is "engaged in a process of continuous quality improvement."
"This is a huge undertaking within the School of Nursing, and we are so proud of our team at St. Clair College and our collaborative partners at the University of Windsor and Lambton College," said Corrin Primeau, the Chair of St. Clair College's School of Nursing. "Our faculty's commitment and dedication to our students and the profession of nursing truly shines through."
"Now we continue to uphold our commitment to nursing excellence and live up to the accreditation we were awarded," Primeau added.
