The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for academic nursing education. AACN works to establish quality standards for nursing education; assists schools in implementing those standards; influences the nursing profession to improve health care; and promotes public support for professional nursing education, research, and practice.
Values: In all of AACN's programs and services, continuous attention is directed to core principles:
• Respecting and including diversity of opinion, experience, and culture.
• Open and responsive communication
• Quality, efficiency, and accountability in the implementation and evaluation of activities

Membership: AACN today represents 825 member schools of nursing at public and private universities and senior colleges nationwide. These schools offer a mix of baccalaureate, graduate, and post-graduate programs.
