In a continued effort to provide students with the highest quality academic offerings, SUNY Polytechnic Institute has announced the addition of an online bachelor’s degree in nursing.

“The ongoing expansion of our online degree-granting programs is a wonderful example of the dedication and commitment of SUNY Poly’s faculty and staff to offering the best education possible,” said SUNY Poly Interim President Dr. Bahgat Sammakia. “This online format is an affordable technology-based way to virtually open the classroom doors to more students than ever before, allowing students anywhere to gain the highly-coveted skills needed so that they are ready to enter the workforce to help others in their community as they pursue their bright future.”

Through its online format, students from all over New York State, the country, and even the world will have access to the courses, faculty, and resources of SUNY Poly’s Nursing Department, allowing even those that are working full-time the ability to still complete a college degree in a format that is convenient to them, providing those with busy lifestyles and work schedules an educational option built upon a strong history of excellence at a great price point.

This online version of the nursing program at SUNY Poly reflects the changes occurring in the nursing profession and addresses the changing landscape of healthcare, officials said. For instance, topics such as ethics and epidemiology are integrated into all the courses as they are essential content areas that are highly relevant within multiple courses instead of being standalone courses.
