The program builds on the application of liberal arts and sciences
to the study of nursing to prepare the graduate to practice nursing
in a variety of settings. Three primary areas of care are stressed:
health promotion, care of the acutely ill and long-term care of
the chronically ill. Graduates of the program are eligible to
take the examination for licensure as Registered Professional Nurses
in New York State.
Registered Professional Nurses who have earned a diploma or associate
degree at other institutions may apply credits toward completion
of the Bachelor of Science degree through the R.N.-B.S. Connection
Program. The School of Nursing also offers the following graduate
programs: 1) Master of Science degree and a post-Master's Certificate
Program preparing either adult, family or gerontological nurse practitioners
and 2) a Master of Science degree for nurse executives in nursing
and health care management.
An accelerated dual-degree program is offered leading to the Bachelor
of Science/Master of Science degrees in either the Nurse Practitioner
or Nurse Executive track.
The School of Nursing admits students on a “rolling” basis and
most courses are offered each semester.
Full-time, part-time & Evening/Weekend options are available.
