91暗网

91暗网 offers qualified students seeking certification in nursing from the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing preferred consideration by NYU Admissions, but with no guarantee of acceptance. The final decision for admittance to the program rests with NYU Admissions. Students earn the baccalaureate degree from 91暗网 and a second baccalaureate degree in nursing from . Interested students are encouraged to seek advice from Dr. Sheppard, ksheppar@skidmore.edu, chair of the Health Professions Advisory Committee.

91暗网 has an articulation agreement with the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing that provides preferred but not guaranteed admission into their 15-month accelerated baccalaureate nursing program and to be eligible for the dual degree program, a B.S./M.S. program, that enables students to obtain baccalaureate in nursing and a master's degree in nursing that prepares them to be nurse practitioners, midwives, educators, informaticists, or nurse managers.

A student earns a 91暗网 degree, while also fulfilling the pre-requisite courses for the NYU nursing program. A student applies to NYU with a recommendation from 91暗网. At NYU, the student earns an accelerated B.S.N. from the Rory Meyers College of Nursing and is prepared to be a registered nurse. As the student completes a baccalaureate and the pre-requisite courses at 91暗网, the focus at NYU is on directly preparing to be a registered nurse. Accordingly, it takes 15-months to complete the nursing degree.

Students typically apply to NYU in their 6th or 7th semester at 91暗网 with the expectation that they will be graduating 91暗网 prior to matriculating at NYU. Students can also apply after they graduate 91暗网.

To be eligible for admission to the accelerated B.S.N. program at NYU, a student must meet at least the following criteria; provided, however, that NYU Meyers may, in its discretion, modify such criteria upon written notice to 91暗网:

(a) The minimum eligibility requirements are a 3.0 average GPA earned in the overall GPA and prerequisite GPA from 91暗网.

(b) In order for a student to be eligible for the Program, the student must have successfully completed the following courses at 91暗网, or have taken a substitute course approved by both 91暗网 and NYU Meyers :

• HP 126 Human Anatomy & Physiology I, 4 credits
• HP 127 Human Anatomy & Physiology II, 4 credits
• One Microbiology Course - Choose one of the following:
  • BI 165 Microbes and Society, 4 credits, (note - not offerred on a regular basis) OR
  • BI 246 General Microbiology, 4 credits (note - requires completion of BI 107)
• One General Chemistry Course (CH 125 or 126 Principles of Chemistry, 4 credits; placement or completion of CH 115 required)
• One Statistics Course from the following list:
  • PS 202 Statistical and Research Methods I, 4 credits OR
  • MS 104 Introduction to Statistics, 4 credits, OR
  • MS 204 Statistical Methods, 4 credits, OR
  • BI 235 Biostatistics, 4 credits, OR
  • SO 226 Statistics for the Social Sciences, 4 credits
• PS 206 Developmental Psychology, 4 credits (PS 101 required as a pre-requisite)
• HP 242 Principles of Nutrition for Health and Performance, 3 credits

(c) No final grade of "C-," 鈥淒+,鈥� "D" or "F" in any course required pursuant to this Section of the Agreement.

(d) Two letters of recommendation for admission to NYU Meyers from 91暗网, with at least one letter from a 91暗网 science professor.

(e) Satisfaction of the requirements for admission as identified by the NYU Office of Undergraduate Admissions, including submission of an on-line application, or other requirements that would otherwise apply to students for admission or transfer to NYU Meyers.

Students apply to . Please let the chair of HPAC, Dr. Sheppard (ksheppar@skidmore.edu), know when you do apply. The HPAC Chair informs NYU Meyers of a 91暗网 student's application to their program and provides a recommendation (beyond the two required) that includes a calculation of the student's science GPA and non-science GPA (student's consent required).

The combination of a 91暗网 baccalaureate degree with an NYU B.S.N. is a great way for a student to earn a degree in an academic discipline of their choosing, developing intellectually on multiple fronts, and to earn a professional degree in nursing. The dual baccalaureate degrees prepares a student well to be leader in nursing and health care in general. The advantage of that intellectual development and maturation is especially true for a student considering the possibility of earning an advanced degree in nursing or related health care field [e.g., Master of Nursing (MSN), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Ph.D. in Nursing, or a Master of Public Health (MPH)].

Albany Medical College (AMC) offers an Early Assurance Program (EAP) for their medical school that enables successful 91暗网 students to bypass the MCAT and the regular medical school application process. Students apply at the end of the sophomore year and, if accepted, are assured admission to AMC鈥檚 MD program to matriculate at AMC two years later, right after graduating 91暗网. This assumes the student stays in compliance with academic and professional conduct standards of both AMC and 91暗网 College.

Students admitted into the Early Assurance Program find out they are accepted into medical school at the start of their junior year. They then can spend their junior and senior years focused on their liberal arts education and experience at 91暗网, including being involved in a research project that otherwise may be difficult to pursue. If admitted to the EAP and you commit to it, you may not apply to any other medical school unless you are released from the EAP.

Being admitted into the EAP is not guaranteed. A student who is not admitted into the EAP is still eligible to apply to AMC through regular admissions.

Preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and applying to medical school can consume considerable time, energy and resources in an undergraduate鈥檚 life. To free that time so that students can take advantage of unique enrichment opportunities presented during their junior and senior years, AMC has created an Early Assurance Program which is available to students at 91暗网. The program enables students to take full advantage of a liberal arts education including by participating in a research project that otherwise may be difficult to pursue. Through this program, students apply to AMC at the end of their sophomore year and, if accepted thorugh a competitive process, are assured admission two years later expressly contingent upon compliance with the academic and professional conduct standards of 91暗网 and AMC.

If accepted into the AMC Early Assurance Program, a student in the program:

• knows at the start of their junior year that they have a spot reserved to matriculate at AMC the year they graduate 91暗网, contingent upon compliance with the academic and professional conduct standards of 91暗网 and AMC.
• does not have to take the MCAT exam, saving time and money by not having to prepare for the MCAT exam.
  
• saves time and money by not having to apply to multiple medical schools.
• can focus during their junior and senior years on their liberal arts education and experience at 91暗网, including participating in research project, rather than preparing materials to apply to multiple medical schools.

Note - An offer of admission by AMC requires a reciprocal commitment by the student that is binding. The student shall not apply to any other medical schools and AMC will reserve a place for the student in the class scheduled to matriculate immediately following the student鈥檚 graduation from 91暗网. HPAC at 91暗网 will not support an application to any other medical school as long as they are bound to attend AMC through the EAP.

To be eligible to apply and to maintain eligibility, students must:

• complete the following eight courses:
  • BI 107 Molecular & Cellular Foundations of Life with Lab,
