Nursing: Pre-Licensure Program
Two-Year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree
Start Your Journey to Becoming a Registered Nurse
Choosing a nursing program is about more than earning a degree—it's about finding a place where you'll be challenged, supported, and prepared for a rewarding career. At SUNY Delhi, you'll join a close-knit learning community where experienced faculty know you by name and are committed to your success.
Our Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Nursing program combines rigorous coursework with hands-on learning through skills labs, high-fidelity simulation, and clinical experiences with trusted healthcare partners throughout the region. From your first semester, you'll build the clinical judgment, technical skills, and confidence needed to provide safe, compassionate, and evidence-based care.
Small classes and clinical groups allow for individualized support and meaningful mentorship as you prepare to care for individuals, families, and communities across the lifespan.
As a graduate, you are eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®) and are prepared for careers in hospitals, long-term care facilities, community and public health agencies, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers, and other healthcare settings.
