Accelerated Program
The School of Nursing offers a program for transfer students leading toward a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in nursing and fulfills all eligibility requirements for NCLEX licensure. This is an evening, weekday, program that offers the required (14) nursing classes. Transfers must fulfill all university and School of Nursing requirements.
Nurse Entrance Test (NET)
The successful completion and evaluation of the NET entrance examination is a pre-requisite to the School of Nursing BS Program for all School of Nursing applicants.
The program combines the study of theory, research, clinical practice, and community service. Dedicated to the highest professional standards, this program instills an appreciation for cultural diversity and an understanding of the different applications of health care in a wide range of settings. This program emphasizes the nurse's role in health promotion, long-term care, research, advocacy, teaching, change, and management.
R.N. ASCEND Program
Beginning Fall 2007, registered nurses have the option of enrolling in ASCEND, the one-day per week R.N. to B.S. program. Designed to accommodate the schedules of working nurses, the program allows nurses to attend classes only one day each week. Both full-time and part-time students are eligible to enter this program.
The program also provides an easy transition into the graduate nursing program. Following the completion of the R.N. to B.S. program, students must apply for graduation. They may then apply for admission to one of the several Master of Science programs. Students in the ASCEND program follow a set plan of study to meet the degree requirements.
Admission Policies
Current licensure as a registered nurse in the State of New York or eligibility for licensure endorsement is required. Students who have not yet been awarded the Registered Professional Nurse License and are awaiting their State Board licensing examination scores are admitted conditionally.
- Applicants must meet all general University requirements for admission.
- Official transcripts from nursing schools, and all other institutions of higher education must be submitted at the time of application.
Transfer students are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Applicants not meeting the minimum GPA requirement may be conditionally admitted contingent upon an interview with the Director of the ASCEND Program, and must maintain a GPA of 3.0 for the first 12 units of undergraduate study.
