How can I find out which community colleges offer the best nursing programs?
One important measure of the quality of a school is whether or not it is accredited. Accreditation is a voluntary process in which schools engage to prove the worth of their programs. Several different agencies bestow accreditation, so to ensure good quality, there are a few agencies that monitor and oversee accreditation. Find out if the community colleges you are interested in attending are accredited by quality agencies by visiting the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, both of which maintain excellent up-to-date listings of accredited institutions.
