The ADN program was granted initial accreditation by the Accreditation Commission for Nursing in Education in November 2005. As of September 20, 2018, ACEN accreditation was renewed for 8 years. The next evaluation visit is scheduled for the fall of 2026.
The NCLEX first-time pass rate for the year May 1, 2023-April 30, 2024, was 89% according to the NCSBN. Program completion rate within 150% of the permissible time frame for the Nursing Program is 79.9% (September 2022-August 2023). Between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, there were 187 graduates. 100% of the December 2022 graduates attained a score of 77% or greater on each of the end-of-program student learning outcomes.

Secondary to the delay in ADN graduates being able to take the NCLEX related to COVID 19, graduates from the associate degree program at Goodwin University only, may be admitted to the RN-BSN track and take NUR 300 and NUR 310 without an RN license. This interim policy became effective for the April 2020 graduates and will remain in place until NCLEX testing centers resume their regular scheduling processes.
