Because SDSU has a long standing history of national accreditation with the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), the education programs are exempt from state board review pursuant to ARSD 20:48:07:48. Programs that hold accreditation status from a national nursing accrediting agency approved by the U.S. Department of Education are exempt from 20:48:07:41 for the purpose of maintaining on-going full board of nursing approval status.
