Accelerated 15-month B.S.N. - Bachelor of Science in Nursing from New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing.
窪蹋勛圖厙 offers qualified students seeking certification in nursing from the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing preferred consideration by NYU Admissions, but with no guarantee of acceptance. The final decision for admittance to the program rests with NYU Admissions. Students earn the baccalaureate degree from 窪蹋勛圖厙 and a second baccalaureate degree in nursing from . Interested students are encouraged to seek advice from Dr. Sheppard, ksheppar@skidmore.edu, chair of the Health Professions Advisory Committee.
窪蹋勛圖厙 has an articulation agreement with the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing
that provides preferred but not guaranteed admission into their 15-month accelerated
baccalaureate nursing program and to be eligible for the dual degree program, a B.S./M.S.
program, that enables students to obtain baccalaureate in nursing and a master's degree
in nursing that prepares them to be nurse practitioners, midwives, educators, informaticists,
or nurse managers.
A student earns a 窪蹋勛圖厙 degree, while also fulfilling the pre-requisite courses
for the NYU nursing program. A student applies to NYU with a recommendation from 窪蹋勛圖厙.
At NYU, the student earns an accelerated B.S.N. from the Rory Meyers College of Nursing
and is prepared to be a registered nurse. As the student completes a baccalaureate
and the pre-requisite courses at 窪蹋勛圖厙, the focus at NYU is on directly preparing
to be a registered nurse. Accordingly, it takes 15-months to complete the nursing
degree.
Students typically apply to NYU in their 6th or 7th semester at 窪蹋勛圖厙 with the expectation that they will be graduating 窪蹋勛圖厙 prior to matriculating at NYU. Students can also apply after they graduate 窪蹋勛圖厙.
To be eligible for admission to the accelerated B.S.N. program at NYU, a student must meet at least the following criteria; provided, however, that NYU Meyers may, in its discretion, modify such criteria upon written notice to 窪蹋勛圖厙:
(a) The minimum eligibility requirements are a 3.0 average GPA earned in the overall GPA and prerequisite GPA from 窪蹋勛圖厙.
(b) In order for a student to be eligible for the Program, the student must have successfully completed the following courses at 窪蹋勛圖厙, or have taken a substitute course approved by both 窪蹋勛圖厙 and NYU Meyers :
- HP 126 Human Anatomy & Physiology I, 4 credits
- HP 127 Human Anatomy & Physiology II, 4 credits
- One Microbiology Course - Choose one of the following:
- BI 165 Microbes and Society, 4 credits, (note - not offerred on a regular basis) OR
- BI 246 General Microbiology, 4 credits (note - requires completion of BI 107)
- One General Chemistry Course (CH 125 or 126 Principles of Chemistry, 4 credits; placement or completion of CH 115 required)
- One Statistics Course from the following list:
- PS 202 Statistical and Research Methods I, 4 credits OR
- MS 104 Introduction to Statistics, 4 credits, OR
- MS 204 Statistical Methods, 4 credits, OR
- BI 235 Biostatistics, 4 credits, OR
- SO 226 Statistics for the Social Sciences, 4 credits
- PS 206 Developmental Psychology, 4 credits (PS 101 required as a pre-requisite)
- HP 242 Principles of Nutrition for Health and Performance, 3 credits
(c) No final grade of "C-," D+, "D" or "F" in any course required pursuant to this Section of the Agreement.
(d) Two letters of recommendation for admission to NYU Meyers from 窪蹋勛圖厙, with at least one letter from a 窪蹋勛圖厙 science professor.
(e) Satisfaction of the requirements for admission as identified by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions, including submission of an on-line application, or other requirements that would otherwise apply to students for admission or transfer to NYU Meyers.
Students apply to . Please let the chair of HPAC, Dr. Sheppard (ksheppar@skidmore.edu), know when you do apply. The HPAC Chair informs NYU Meyers of a 窪蹋勛圖厙 student's application to their program and provides a recommendation (beyond the two required) that includes a calculation of the student's science GPA and non-science GPA (student's consent required).
The combination of a 窪蹋勛圖厙 baccalaureate degree with an NYU B.S.N. is a great way for a student to earn a degree in an academic discipline of their choosing, developing intellectually on multiple fronts, and to earn a professional degree in nursing. The dual baccalaureate degrees prepares a student well to be leader in nursing and health care in general. The advantage of that intellectual development and maturation is especially true for a student considering the possibility of earning an advanced degree in nursing or related health care field [e.g., Master of Nursing (MSN), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Ph.D. in Nursing, or a Master of Public Health (MPH)].
