RN to MS Program

Registered nurses may elect to enter an RN­to­MS fast track program, which allows completion of the bachelor’s and master’s degree in three years of full­time study. A part­time option is available, but will likely require summer courses.

RNs may apply at any time during their BS degree studies. Nurses in our bachelor’s program who transition to this program are able to reduce one course from their BS degree curriculum and take two graduate level courses at undergraduate tuition rates.

The RN­to­MS program is also ideal for associate degree holders with extra college credits, as 12 additional undergraduate credits may be accepted at the time of admission. Students must complete a minimum of 48 credits at SUNY Upstate.

I went to work after earning my assoc-
iate's degree, and kept right on going to school. Courses like Nurse as Educator fit right in with what I want to do professionally. In class, not only do you develop lasting friendships with students and faculty, but itís encouraging to be around so many nurses, in all sorts of careers. "
