Adelphi Manhattan Center's New Part-time B.S. in Nursing Program

 Adelphi University College of Nursing and Public Health has announced a new part-time Bachelor of Science in Nursing program -- offered evenings, only at Adelphi’s Manhattan Center. 

Due to start Fall 2016, this new program makes it possible for students to balance work, family and college. 

The convenience of evening classes makes Adelphi Manhattan the ideal choice for part-time students who are prepared to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Nursing. 

This part-time Bachelor of Science program at Adelphi's Manhattan Center combines the study of nursing theory, research, clinical practice and community service. Dedicated to the highest professional standards, this program instills an appreciation for cultural diversity and an understanding of the various applications of healthcare in a wide range of settings. 

This program emphasizes the nurse’s role in health promotion, long-term care, research, advocacy, teaching and leadership management. The basic nursing curriculum consists of a planned progression of courses that build upon previous knowledge and develop skills at increasing levels of competence. The lower-division nursing and the science courses are prerequisite to the junior-level nursing courses. Throughout the curriculum, concepts relating to the promotion of health, care during illness, and long-term care are developed. Also emphasized are the nurse’s roles in research, advocacy, teaching, change and management.

The part-time undergraduate nursing program enables students who have completed the prerequisite courses to earn their B.S. in Nursing in 8 terms (3 falls, 3 springs, and 2 summers) of part-time study.
