As of July 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education will implement new regulations that professional programs (RN and APRN) must adhere to. Regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) will require the nursing program to provide:  a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution's curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification,  a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution's curriculum does not meet state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification, and  a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution has not made a determination of whether the curriculum meets educational requirements. Additionally, a direct disclosure to the student in writing is required in regulation 34 CFR 668.43(c) by the education institution if the program leading to professional licensure or certification falls in one of the latter two categories above.

The baccalaureate degree programs in nursing, master's degree programs in nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Mount St. Joseph University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education 655 K Street NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, 202-887-6791. http://www.ccneaccreditation.org
