School of Nursing
Accredited. Affordable. Accessible.
Distance Education Degree Programs
for Nursing Professionals
We help nurses advance their careers
like no other institution.
Look at the evidence. Since 1973, our accredited nursing
programs have awarded more than 50,000 nursing degrees.
We have helped people with significant health care experience
advance their education in nursing and move up in their careers.
Nursing Degree
and Certificate Programs
They move up because of Excelsior College’s academic quality.
The School of Nursing has been designated a Center of
Excellence in Nursing Education 2011 – 2016 by the National
League for Nursing. Excelsior College was also honored with
the Best School award from the American Assembly for Men
in Nursing in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. In addition,
the School of Nursing is one of only three distance education
colleges ever to have received a charter from Sigma Theta Tau
International Honor Society of Nursing. Most important, our
alumni consistently earn praise from employers — and advance
their careers in nursing.

Our students also enjoy a great deal of flexibility while earning
their degree through Excelsior College. Our online and distance
programs enable you to study whenever and wherever it is
convenient, so you can balance school, work, and family.

“At first, I attended a community college and quickly
discovered that both working and studying full-time was
too stressful. Then I found Excelsior College. I could study
at my own pace. The faculty and advisors all really wanted
me to succeed, and that inspired me. I actually learned
more there — the learning experience was more in-depth,
and I was able to apply it immediately on the job.”

Many hospitals seeking to achieve Magnet status prefer to
hire nurses with a bachelor’s degree. So earning your Excelsior
College bachelor’s degree will put you in demand. One year after
earning their degrees, 25 percent of our graduates have been
promoted and 54 percent were pursuing their master’s degree.
What's more, one of our nursing courses includes a certification
in management from Sigma Theta Tau International, Honor
Society of Nursing.
Graduate, Bachelor of Science in Nursing
“Thanks to the flexibility Excelsior College
offers — including online courses and credit-bearing
examinations — I completed my bachelor’s degree
while working full-time in a cardiothoracic ICU.
Since then I’ve been accepted for graduate studies
in anesthesiology at Albany Medical Center,
one of the top-ranked programs in the country.”

get the job!”

A few words on licensure.
Excelsior College nursing programs are designed in accordance
with the requirements for Registered Nurse programs in New York
State. The associate degree programs prepare students for the
NCLEX-RN® examination and for practice in the United States.
Excelsior College graduates who meet eligibility requirements are
eligible to take the NCLEX-RN in New York State.
Excelsior College graduates who meet eligibility requirements are
eligible for licensure in New York State and other states, as well.
Individuals convicted of felonies or certain misdemeanors or those
with a history of substance abuse may not be eligible for licensure. Our graduates are eligible for licensure in most other states
by examination or endorsement. However, states have different
16
requirements for pre-licensure education; students are responsible
for determining the legal criteria for licensure in the state where they
wish to practice. Some states have special licensure requirements
for our graduates. Graduation from a registered and accredited program does not guarantee eligibility for licensure; students may also
need to meet other requirements regarding age, high school graduation, type of education, and so forth.
If the state in which you wish to be licensed is part of the national
compact for licensure, ask about those specific requirements.
Excelsior College graduates who are licensed as RNs in one state
may be employed as RNs by Veterans Administration Institutions or
other federal facilities anywhere in the United States.
* Individuals convicted of felonies or certain misdemeanors or individuals with a history of substance abuse may not be eligible for licensure or eligible to take
the required performance examinations for the Excelsior College nursing degree.
A Word on Test Preparation and Tutorial Services
Excelsior College offers Excelsior College Examinations that are
designed to help you advance your academic objectives through
independent study. A variety of learning resources, including content
guides, online conferences, and practice tests, are available directly
from Excelsior. These resources are prepared by Excelsior College so
you can be assured that they are current and cover the content you are
expected to master for the exams. Along with your own desire to learn,
these resources are usually all that you need to help you succeed.
Some students may seek additional assistance or may be contacted
by tutorial firms and test-preparation companies offering their own
products and services. The College is not affiliated with any of
these firms and does not endorse the products or services of any of
these vendors since we do not review their materials for content or
compatibility with Excelsior College Examinations.
To help you become a well-informed consumer we suggest, before you
make any purchase decision regarding study materials provided by
organizations other than Excelsior College, that you consider the points
outlined on our website at www.excelsior.edu/testprep.
