The Cox College Master of Science in Nursing program has been granted a full five-year accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, the maximum initial accreditation term.

CCNE's board determined that the program met all standards and that there were no compliance concerns, based on a site visit by two qualified examiners and a written self-study submitted by Cox College.

The master's program at Cox College began in August 2009, and the first graduates received their degrees in May. The program offers three study tracks: family nurse practitioner, nurse educator and clinical nurse leader.

Cox College has 700 students. To learn more, visit www.coxcollege.edu.
