What is EMU’s Accreditation?
Because our main campus is located in Virginia, the University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. This is equivalent to the Middle States Accreditation, which is the accrediting agency for schools located in Pennsylvania. The Lancaster extension program is licensed by the PA State Board of Education for undergraduate, graduate and seminary programs. Our degrees are recognized and accepted for admission into graduate schools. EMU’s nursing program received initial accreditation from the National League of Nursing in 1970, but in 2004 the program received full accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, the accrediting body of the American Association of Colleges and Nursing (One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, D.C., 202-887-6791). The nursing program is also approved by the Virginia State Board of Nursing.
