Villanova University College of Nursing is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Commission on Accreditation.

We received news in September 2007 of our reaccreditation for a full six years - until August 2013.

This voluntary process certifies that the program has been evaluated by professionals, that it meets or exceeds established standards and is achieving its own goals. The College chose to apply for accreditation and complies with national standards established by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Villanova University will award contact hours for successful completion of all courses. In keeping with ANCC revised guidelines, a contact hour is a measurement that denotes 60 minutes of organized learning. In order to receive continuing education credit, participants must complete all course requirements and attend at least 85% of each session.
