A.A.S.
ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE

The Nursing Program at ACC offers an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree and prepares its graduates to begin employment in a variety of health care settings.

The program is approved by the New York State Board of Education, and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).

Graduates of the Nursing Program are employed in all health care areas including hospitals, physicians' offices, clinics, long-term care facilities and community health agencies.

Successful completion of the curriculum along with the recommendation of the faculty qualifies nursing graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses

(NCLEX-RN). ACC nursing graduates have consistently had pass rates above the national average. Students may attend either full time or part time.

Full time students can complete the curriculum in two years. Clinical experience is an integral part of the Nursing Program and is provided at various area health agencies.
