Our Associate in Applied Science (AAS) prepares students with the foundation they need to have a successful career as a registered nurse (RN). At Maria College, our focus is on the Art and Science of Nursing – giving students both a theoretical and clinical background in nursing to provide compassionate care to the community.

Upon completion, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN®). Our first-time pass rates in 2021 for the NCLEX-RN® is at 88% – higher than the NYS average. Our knowledgeable faculty, comprehensive education, and supportive environment all play a major role in the success of our students.
