Be the heart and soul of health care.
The nursing profession offers one of the fastest-growing career opportunities in health care today.
In the SUNY Morrisville Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program in nursing, you will complete two rigorous years of study with a clear outcome: you’ll be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This will be accomplished through a curriculum consisting of 64 course credits, with 37 in nursing and 27 in general education.
Each semester, the program combines classroom learning with clinical experience in a hospital, where you will care for patients under the supervision of an experienced faculty member. Our faculty have years of experience working in nursing, and our low student-to-faculty ratio will ensure that you get personalized instruction. Our student-to-faculty ratio never exceeds eight students in any clinical or laboratory setting.
Graduating from our program opens numerous career opportunities due to the high demand for excellent nurses and our program’s strong reputation in the field.
You also will be able to seamlessly transfer into our Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in nursing to further your knowledge and expertise of the field.
Graduates of associate degree programs in nursing are required by the NYS Education Department to obtain a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing Degree within 10 years of initial licensure. SUNY Morrisville is pleased to offer an online RN to BS program that can be completed in 24 months.
