Board grants full accreditation to Tri County’s distance practical-nursing program

Andrew Beyer, the agency’s accreditation coordinator, explained the distance-education approval process and the October on-site review of Tri County Technology Center’s practical nursing program. Beyer said examiners from the accreditation division interviewed administrators and staff, observed the distance-education (DE) platform, and evaluated standards for program integrity, resources, assessment, student support and program effectiveness. The team recommended full accreditation and will follow up mid-year to verify attendance tracking, clock-hour monitoring and that the same student performs required work.
