Notice to current and prospective students: During its last review, the BSN program was granted continuing accreditation by the CCNE for a term of five years until June 30, 2027. Maintenance of accreditation requires that programs demonstrate ongoing and sustainable compliance with all accreditation standards and key elements. To that end, the CCNE has also issued a show cause directive to the program, effective March 14, 2024, requesting additional evidence of compliance with certain specified standards and elements by May 1, 2024. According to CCNE Procedures for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Programs (2023, pp. 17), “The issuance of a show cause directive is not an adverse action, but a statement of serious concern by the Board.” It is important to note that the Roosevelt University baccalaureate degree in nursing program remains an accredited program during the show cause period. Roosevelt University is committed to the quality of the BSN program and fully expects that further reporting on our progress and achievements will address these concerns. Questions may be directed to the Interim Director of Nursing, Dr. Miriam Anthony (manthony04@roosevelt.edu)
