Clinical courses are scheduled for a combination of evenings and days. In addition to the required course work in the FCNS and ANP master's programs, students complete a comprehensive project. With the guidance and support of the graduate faculty, students choose a program with a clinical, educational, administrative, or research focus to meet this comprehensive requirement. The College's Dobbs Ferry campus overlooks the Hudson River. The College is accessible by bus, train, or car from Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, and Dutchess counties, New York City, northern New Jersey, Long Island, and southern Connecticut.
Ample parking is available.
Since all of the undergraduate and graduate students are RNs and the majority are practicing full-time, living off campus, serving multiple roles, and meeting several responsibilities, they primarily use the campus facilities and services that are directly associated with their educational programs. To matriculate in the B.S. program, a student must be a graduate of a diploma or associate degree program in nursing, have a minimum academic grade point average of 2.5 in both nursing and overall courses, and be licensed to practice as a registered nurse. Registered nurses with a bachelor's degree in a field other than nursing may apply to the master's programs via the Bridge Program. Applicants must meet the above requirements and demonstrate undergraduate competencies by completing undergraduate courses in statistics, nursing research, and leadership in community health nursing with a grade of B or better.
