The Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) has granted United Nursing College provisional approval to operate as an institution of higher learning and to offer a bachelor's degree: ADN to BSN pursuant to California Education Code (CEC) §94885.5. The Bureau has approved the institution’s accreditation plan pursuant to California Code of Regulations (5, CCR) §71105.
What BPPE approval means: The BPPE approves the operation of institutions in California. An approval to operate signifies that an institution is in compliance with state standards as set forth in the Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009. The BPPE protects students and consumers through the oversight of California’s private postsecondary education institutions by conducting qualitative reviews of educational programs and operating standards.
Application for accreditation was approved by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) on June 23, 2025 and is valid for two years. During this time, United Nursing College will work with ABHES to ensure compliance and alignment as per the bureau's 19th Edition Accreditation Manual. Scheduled visitations during the application period will be conducted by ABHES representatives to evaluate UNC, and final approval is expected in mid 2027.
