The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing is the flagship nursing program of the City University of New York offering accredited programs leading to both the Bachelor of Science degree in nursing and the Master of Science degree in nursing, in eight specializations.

These specializations include:  adult nurse practitioner, adult/gerontological nurse practitioner, psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, community/public health nursing and community/public health/urban public health nursing, nursing administration/public administration (in conjunction with Baruch College) and  post master's certificates in nursing education and psychiatric nurse practitioner.  Each program of study combines liberal and professional education with a humanistic and comprehensive approach to health care.

Mission/History

Nursing education began at Hunter in 1943, when courses for registered nurses were added to its curriculum.  In 1955, a four-year collegiate program that was a pioneer for its time – the Hunter College Program in Nursing – was launched.  When the Bellevue School of Nursing closed in 1969, Hunter absorbed it to create the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, now located at the college’s Brookdale Health Science Center at 425 East 25th Street in Manhattan just northeast of Gramercy Park neighborhood. 

It is the mission of Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing to provide quality education for a new generation of nursing professionals to meet the needs of urban populations; particularly, the needs of the underserved populations of New York.
