Mississippi College, a private institution, is seeking to establish a new doctoral nursing degree program. The Doctor of Nursing Practice degree requires approval through the State Board of Trustees of Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning, as the Board holds a legislative mandate to oversee the establishment of rules, regulations, and uniform standards for accreditation of nursing schools within the state. As part of the approval process, public comments are invited regarding the proposed new degree program.
The public comment period will run from November 10, 2025, through December 10, 2025. You can submit them here.
