The baccalaureate degree in nursing at Lindenwood University is pursuing initial accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street NW, Suite 750, Washington DC 20001, 202-887-6791. Applying for accreditation does not guarantee that accreditation will be granted.

Lindenwood University Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program will host an accreditation site visit by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) on September 21–23, 2026. During this visit, the program will undergo review as part of the CCNE accreditation process.

As part of the accreditation process, CCNE invites program constituents and other interested parties to submit written third-party comments regarding the BSN program’s qualifications for accreditation. Third-party comments provide an opportunity for individuals to share information relevant to the CCNE accreditation standards.

Written comments must be received by CCNE no later than August 31, 2026 (21 days before the first day of the site visit). Comments must be signed and written in English. CCNE shares third-party comments with members of the evaluation team before the site visit; however, the comments are not shared with the nursing program during the accreditation review. The evaluation team considers comments that are relevant to the CCNE accreditation standards.
