Introducing an exciting collaboration between Rockland Community College (RCC) and SUNY Empire State University – the new 2+2 Nursing Program. This innovative initiative allows students to seamlessly transition from an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) at RCC to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) through online coursework provided by SUNY Empire State University, enabling them to earn both degrees within just four years.
Commencing in the fall of 2024, students can enroll in the 2+2 Nursing Program and graduate with dual nursing degrees. This program is specifically designed to assist aspiring nurses in advancing their careers while remaining within their local community.
“Rockland Community College is thrilled to announce our partnership with SUNY Empire State University. This program not only enhances career prospects for aspiring nurses but also provides the convenience and affordability essential for our local community. We are proud to offer an accessible and seamless educational experience that empowers our students to advance their nursing careers while staying close to home,” says Dr. Maureen Kroning, Dean of the School of Nursing, Health & Wellness.
The 2+2 Nursing Program is committed to providing a seamless educational journey. The online BSN component, offered by SUNY Empire, makes it convenient for Rockland County residents to pursue their education without the need for extensive travel. This not only reduces costs and logistical obstacles but also makes higher education more accessible and affordable for students in the region, ensuring a smooth transition from ADN to BSN.
“We are honored to partner with Rockland Community College on the 2+2 Nursing Program. SUNY Empire State University has a longstanding tradition of successfully delivering and providing access to an array of online programs. Our goal is to educate and inspire healthcare professionals who enhance the health of individuals, families, and their communities,” says Dr. Kim Stote, Dean of the School of Nursing and Allied Health.
