Program Overview
Rigorous academic coursework, combined with hands-on learning experiences, make the Decker School of Nursing graduates exceptional. Prior to graduating, students complete hundreds of hours of off-site clinical rotations in acute-care and community settings as part of coursework.
In 2020, Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences moved to Johnson City, N.Y., joining the University's School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences on the University's nearly 15-acre Health Sciences Campus. The move provides Decker College with additional space, enabling program expansion and providing much-needed room to meet growing simulation demands.
