We are pleased to announce that the National Association of
Boards of Examiners of Long-Term Care Administrators (NAB) has approved our
request for re-accreditation at its 2012 Mid-Year meeting in San Diego, CA on November
9, 2012.
It is re-accreditation of the Bachelor of Science,
Long-Term Care Administration Major (BS/LTCA), which was originally accredited
in 1997 and re-accredited in 2002. This was the first time re-accreditation for the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program. Both have
been accredited. Saint Joseph’s College is only the second college or
university to have a graduate program accredited by NAB and the only one to
have both undergraduate and graduate programs accredited by them. The
accreditation is for another five years.
Ours is also the only completely online program
accredited by NAB.
This accreditation recognizes the quality of the programs
and their graduates. It gives us a marketing edge as the primary reason
students enroll in our long-term care programs is to achieve licensure as
nursing home administrators. Many state licensing boards will automatically
accept NAB-accredited programs as meeting their licensure requirements. Others
look upon it favorably.
This is a significant achievement for us, keeping us in
the forefront of long-term care education.
