Accelerated Nursing Program, Bachelor of Science
Manhattanville’s accelerated Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Nursing major can be completed in four semesters of continuous study and is built on a holistic, patient centered care framework that offers an opportunity to learn integrative modalities. The American Association of College of Nursing (AACN) Baccalaureate (I-IX) essentials (BE) guided the curricular elements and framework for developing the baccalaureate nursing curriculum.
A nursing degree from Manhattanville offers resume enhancements such as certification in end of life care (ELNEC micro-credential) and the opportunity to explore areas of interest and earn certificates or digital badges through nursing electives in specialized areas. Students will participate in clinical rotations at premier healthcare sites in the area and learn in a state-of-the-art clinical learning laboratory that combines technical skills with advanced skills to connect theory to practice.
The purpose of the undergraduate Bachelor of Science programs is to prepare students to practice within complex healthcare systems and assume the roles such as a designer, manager, coordinator and provider of care. Students will be eligible to participate in the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered professional Nurses.
