Practical Nursing Program Accreditations

The RCTC Practical Nursing Program is approved by the Minnesota Board of Nursing and accredited by Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, Inc. (ACEN).

The PN Program began in 1967 as part of the Rochester Area Vocational Technical Institute (RAVTI) and received initial accreditation in 1976. The program has been accredited since that time. The most recent accreditation decision made by the ACEN Board of Commissioners for the practical nursing program is continuing accreditation.
