In order to earn a credible Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree, you need to attend a university with an accredited MSN program. Specifically, you should look for Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accreditation. CCNE is a national accreditation agency focused on assuring the quality and integrity of nursing degree programs and residency programs. When a university’s programs have CCNE accreditation—like Walden University’s BSN, MSN, and DNP programs—you can be assured it provides nursing education that meets the highest standards.
