Licensing Rates
|
|
|
When graduates from a particular program must pass a licensing or certification exam prior to being able to work in the field, the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), our accrediting agency, requires that schools publish a licensing exam pass rate for those programs. Porter and Chester calculates a Licensing Rate for the Practical Nursing program using a formula specified by ACCSC. The formula uses a cohort of students who began school during a given 12 month reporting period, graduated, and took the licensure exam as the denominator, and as the numerator uses the number of students from that group who passed the exam.
For each campus which offers the Practical Nursing program, the licensing rates for classes included in the ACCSC 2025 Annual Report are:
