RN State Education Alignment

Minnesota West Community & Technical College’s Alignment with Other States’ Registered Nursing Educational Requirements

The U.S. Department of Education has implemented new regulations (Regulation 34 CFR 668.43

(a) (5) (v)) which requires Minnesota West Community & Technical College’s Associate Degree in Nursing Program to provide the following:

  1. a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification;
  2. a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum does not meet state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification; and
  3. a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution has not made a determination of whether the curriculum meets educational requirements.
