The University of Rochester School of Nursing in Rochester, New York is part of a private, four-year research university. It offers nursing pathways at the bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and certificate levels, with programs that blend campus learning with online or hybrid coursework depending on the track. The traditional BSN is a four-year route, while accelerated and graduate options are shorter.
Students build core competencies in health assessment, pharmacology, anatomy, evidence-based practice, communication, leadership, and patient-centered care. Clinical education is a major part of the curriculum, with supervised experiences in local health systems and community settings. Common focus areas include adult-gerontology, family care, psychiatric-mental health, and advanced practice. Prelicensure students are prepared for the NCLEX-RN. The school is nationally recognized for graduate nursing education and research, and its broad program range sets it apart from many nearby nursing options.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
