The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) recently granted continuing accreditation to the clinical doctorate nursing program at Kentucky State University.

ACEN Chief Executive Officer Dr. Marsal P. Stoll congratulated Kentucky State in a letter to the university.

“Congratulations on this outstanding achievement! We look forward to continued successes for your nursing program. On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we thank you and your colleagues for your commitment to quality nursing education.”

The Board of Commissioners met in September to vote on all information submitted and the findings of the site visitors in April. The Board granted continuing accreditation to the clinical doctorate nursing program with the next evaluation visit scheduled for Spring 2030.

Kentucky State offers an associate of applied science in nursing, a bachelor of science in nursing, and a doctor of nursing practice.

According to its website, the purpose of the ACEN is to, “provide specialized accreditation for all levels of nursing education and transition-to-practice programs located in the United States, U.S. Territories, and internationally.”
