Florida Colleges With Accredited Nursing Programs

Florida's nursing shortage made CCNE- and ACEN-accredited programs a practical search, not a prestige search. This page lists Florida institutions with a recorded CCNE or ACEN accreditation so you can compare licensed programs in-state, then check each school's overall admit rate — nursing cohorts are often tighter than the campus rate.

Sources and limits

Campus statistics come from stored IPEDS and College Scorecard records; GPA and testing fields are stored college details. Per-record reporting years, GPA scales, and policy verification dates are unavailable on this page. A campus acceptance rate describes a past applicant pool, not your individual chance or a major's admission rate.

Check the official admissions link on each school profile for your current application cycle. Test-flexible does not mean no testing. Confirm program, scholarship, residency, and applicant-type exceptions.

Net prices are historical averages for eligible student groups, not aid offers; public-college figures may reflect in-state students. Compare your budget with the college's official net price calculator before paying application fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What nursing programs in Florida are accredited?

Look for CCNE or ACEN accreditation before you apply. This page only lists Florida campuses with one of those flags in Admit Coach's accreditation data.

Is nursing harder to get into than the college itself?

Frequently. Direct-admit nursing and later competitive progression both exist. The campus acceptance rate is a starting point, not the nursing-seat rate.

Do Florida nursing programs require the SAT?

Admission testing policy follows the campus. Some Florida colleges are test-optional even when the nursing department later uses TEAS or a separate GPA cutoff.
