It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY). The School’s history spans over 60 years of preparing nurses for practice in urban environments with diverse populations. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni embrace excellence in education, research, and service. We are a public school, with a strong commitment to health care service in New York City and beyond.

Our undergraduate programs include the generic and accelerated (second-degree) BS in nursing, and the RN-to-BS in nursing. The Master’s program offers specialties in Adult/Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Community/Public Health Nursing, Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Nursing Administration/Urban Policy & Leadership (dual-MS degree), and a post-graduate Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner advanced certificate. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program prepares nurses for advanced practice and leadership positions in health care. Our new post-master's PhD in nursing program prepares nurse scientists to conduct research that supports health equity in diverse, urban communities. In addition, we are excited to be in the final steps of developing a new Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) DNP program.

On behalf of our outstanding faculty, students, staff, and alumni, I invite you to learn more about us. We look forward to your contacts and questions.

Sincerely yours,
