For fifty years, the Nursing program at SUNY Polytechnic Institute has been a leader in healthcare education, growing from a visionary initiative in the 1970s to a fully established School of Nursing within the College of Health Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNY Poly\u2019s nursing roots trace back to the 1960s, when community leaders sought a path for diploma and associate degree nurses to earn their BS. In 1974, an \u201cinnovative nursing program\u201d was approved, and by 1978, the first BS class graduated. Despite challenges in the 1980s that threatened its existence, alumni and faculty advocacy ensured the program\u2019s survival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program expanded in the following decades, establishing regional outreach sites, pioneering early uses of telecast technology for remote learning, and launching graduate and doctoral programs. Landmark initiatives, such as the 1-2-1 partnership with St. Elizabeth\u2019s College of Nursing, became national models for nursing education. In 2022, the introduction of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) solidified SUNY Poly\u2019s commitment to advancing nursing education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programs within the School of Nursing recently received initial accreditation and reaccreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and consistently boast high rankings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
