UA nB dO e rUgTr a d Applications will not be considered for admission until all required documents (including letters of recommendation and official college transcripts) are submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 383 Lafayette, New York, NY 10003. Please do not send application materials to the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions. Do you have a baccalaureate degree in another field, but have not completed all prerequisite requirements for admission into the 15 Month Accelerated BS Program? Students with a baccalaureate degree in another field who have not completed prerequisite courses in nutrition, chemistry with lab, statistics, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and developmental psychology can also enter the College of Nursing's BS Program with advanced standing credit. College graduates are admitted with 44 liberal arts credits, but must complete all of the prerequisite courses before starting the 15 month curriculum. The average length of fulltime study for students that have not completed the prerequisite courses prior to matriculation is two years or 5 terms (full time). Please note that students with a baccalaureate degree in another field who have not met all prerequisite requirements (and do not plan to meet all prerequisite requirements before matriculating) should not apply for admission directly into the 15 Month Accelerated BS Program. They should still apply as a second degree student, but should select the non-accelerated option as they will need a term or two to complete prerequisite requirements before beginning the 15 month curriculum. These applicants can follow the application instructions above, but should select non-accelerated as their program.
