The AAS nursing degree program is registered by the New York State Department of Education and is a member of the National League for Nursing.
The nursing program offers both didactic (traditional classroom), laboratory, and clinical instruction. Didactic and laboratory instruction occur at the BCC campus. The clinical experience occurs in a variety of hospitals, healthcare facilities and community agencies in the Bronx and easily accessible areas in other boroughs.
The clinical sequence is run as a day program. We do, however, often offer some of the nursing courses during the evening based on an assessment of students’ needs. The need is reviewed every semester. There is no guarantee that courses will be offered every semester during the evening.
