BS/MS Nursing Administration
- Continued matriculation in the Accelerated BS/MS with a Major in Nursing Administration requires maintenance of a GPA of 3.00 for all courses taken at SUNYIT.
- A student must also maintain a GPA of 3.00 in all graduate nursing courses and may not have more than two (2) "C"s on record at the time of graduation.
- Students may repeat a graduate nursing course only once.
- Students with an average GPA of less than 3.00 will be placed on academic probation in the program. Students with less than a "B" (3.0) in graduate nursing courses will be placed on academic probation. Students who are on academic probation for any two semesters or who have a GPA of less than 2.50 will be academically dismissed from the BS/MS program.
- Students who are academically dismissed or choose not to complete the BS/MS program, and whose performance constitutes satisfactory performance in the undergraduate program, will be placed in the baccalaureate RN to BS program. If these students have satisfactorily completed the accelerated courses in Nursing Theory (2cr) and/or Nursing Research (2cr), a directed study will be available for those students to complete course requirements of the baccalaureate program of study. In addition, the exemptions from Nursing Leadership (4cr) and Special Topics in Nursing (2cr) and Contemporary Nursing Practice (2cr for Nurse Practitioner students only) will be invalid, and the student will be required to complete these courses for the baccalaureate degree requirement.
- Each semester a required two-hour colloquium will be held for all students in the RN to BS/MS accelerated nursing program. Colloquia will focus on content areas and issues unique to this specialized program. Self-paced learning modules which focus on creating Power Point presentations, using APA Publication Guidelines, and Principles of Teaching and Learning will be made available for accelerated BS/MS students.
- Up to 10 credits in graduate nursing courses can simultaneously apply to the BS and MS degrees. These courses are: NUR500, NUR503, NUR560, and NUR510.
- Students must complete all undergraduate courses and a total of 120 credits to be awarded a BS with a major in nursing.
- Residence requirement is 30 hours; no more than 6 graduate credits can be transferred.
- Graduate status begins at the 2nd fall term in the student’s program of study.
- Upon completion of the program, both BS and MS degrees will be conferred.
