Most students in this program intend to pursue a major in nursing. Thus, students gain their prerequisite knowledge for more advanced studies in the health care field while being grounded biblically. In addition students have opportunity to take introductory courses in health careers and nursing so that they may explore their interests.
Local hospitals welcome volunteer work by the students.
Upon transfer to other institutions students typically enter courses and clinical work specific to their chosen profession. The Bachelor of Science degree is conferred by the institution to which transfer has been made. Since the amount of time needed to complete a B.S. degree after a student transfers varies, students are encouraged to choose their transfer institution as soon as possible so that appropriate elective course work at Nyack can be taken. Successful transfer is dependent upon meeting the admissions requirements established by the transfer institution, and admission to Nyack College does not automatically guarantee admission to the transfer school. Students wishing to pursue this track must meet Roberts' GPA requirements and complete pre-transfer summer work at Roberts.
