Educational Next Steps

Nursing education doesn’t have to stop with an associate’s degree. The Pomeroy College of Nursing offers a number of programs that make it ways for students to maximize their educational potential, better preparing them for a future career.

RN to BS Options

Nursing is the largest healthcare occupation and one of the most respected careers. Obtaining both an associate’s and bachelor’s degree makes a nurse more employable, giving the opportunity to earn a high salary with more career options. The RN to BS option is both academically and financially beneficial. Students complete a BS while earning a competitive RN salary.

The Pomeroy College of Nursing has agreements with several RN to BS programs which will allow students to earn an associate’s degree then transfer and complete a Bachelor’s Degree from:

• SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY
• SUNY Polytech Institute, Utica, NY
• Excelsior College, Albany, NY
• SUNY Delhi, Delhi, NY
• Chamberlain College of Nursing, Downers Grove, IL
• Keuka College, Keuka, NY
• Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY
• Russell Sage College, Albany, NY
• Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester, NY

Early Assurance Option: Pomeroy College of Nursing to Le Moyne College

The new Early Assurance option provides a Pomeroy College of Nursing student with the opportunity, once they have earned their earned Associate Degree in Applied Science with a Major in Nursing, to seamlessly transfer from Pomeroy into the Le Moyne College Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program. An additional benefit to a student is that he or she can pass the nursing certification board exam before continuing on at Le Moyne, allowing them to pursue professional employment while completing the requirements for the BSN program.
