The impending shortage of practitioners and current critical shortage of educators
is leading to multiple options for those interested in the nursing profession. Jobs
are available nationwide in a wide range of settings, usually with excellent salaries
and opportunities for growth. At Alfred State, we are preparing students to be designers,
coordinators, and managers of health care. Our students graduate as leaders contributing
to the advancement of health care and the profession itself. The Nursing Department
offers an associate degree nursing program accredited by the Accreditation Commission
for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
The associate degree is designed to prepare individuals to become registered nurses (RNs). Students of this program become eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensing exam and receive excellent clinical preparation in a variety of settings.
Alfred State nursing AAS graduates may enter directly into the Alfred State bachelor's
degree program in nursing. This program can be completed full-time in two years or
part-time as the student desires. The upper-level nursing courses are offered in an
online format and include nursing, science, and liberal arts courses, primarily.
The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at The State University of New York College of Technology at Alfred is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street, NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, 202-887-6791.
