• a copy of an active, unencumbered New York state RN license with expiration date.

Application Deadlines

The RN to BSN degree program accepts applications for the September and January terms only. The program has limited capacity, so you are encouraged to apply early.

If we are unable to accommodate you in the term that is your first choice, your application will be given preference in the next available term.

All applications materials must be submitted by deadlines below.

Note: applicants will be notified of their acceptance in June for the September term and in October for the January term.

The RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and reflects the baccalaureate competencies recommended by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).
