Credit For Registered Nurses
Recognizing that men and women who are Registered Nurses in New
York State have usually completed at least two years of intensive
studies in the related health field of nursing, College of
Professional Studies grants a maximum of 60 semester hours of
credit to registered nurses who matriculate in the Bachelor of
Science degree program with a major in Health Service
Administration, and have completed an Associate’s Degree in
Nursing.
