2023 is a significant educational planning year for FSC, as the New York State Education Department approved two new online academic programs to launch in 2024: the master of science in nursing administration and the bachelor of science in artificial intelligence management.
Mastering Excellence in Nursing
The new master of science in nursing administration
is the second graduate program in FSC’s portfolio.
This 100 percent online program will prepare
registered nurses to assume advanced practice
nurse roles as administrators and leaders. The
program is designed to fit within today’s evolving
and global healthcare system.
The program emphasizes the leadership, administrative, and management skills necessary to coordinate comprehensive care, collaborate with an interdisciplinary healthcare team, and implement strategies that improve the healthcare environment.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the projected growth for nurses with a graduate degree in the United States is substantial, with a significant increase in demand for highly skilled and specialized nursing professionals in the coming years. This growth is fueled by factors such as an aging population, advancements in healthcare technology, and the increasing complexity of patient care, making a graduate degree in nursing a valuable asset for aspiring professionals seeking rewarding and in-demand career opportunities.
With FSC’s advanced degree program available online, aspiring nurses gain unparalleled convenience and flexibility to pursue their degrees on their terms. Harnessing the power of online education, students can personalize their learning experience by setting their own pace. Students who choose full-time study can complete the 35-credit program and earn their degree in just a year and a half.
Innovation Powered by Artificial Intelligence
FSC will launch its new bachelor of science
degree in artificial intelligence management, the
first such degree to be offered in the SUNY system.
This is an online, upper-division program geared
toward transfer students who have an associate
degree in either business or computer science.
Artificial intelligence (AI) mimics human intelligence and learns from an enormous amount of data, allowing AI to unlock remarkable capabilities and redefining what is possible now and in the future. AI is revolutionizing industries, streamlining processes to enable breakthrough scientific discoveries, and reshaping how we live, work, and interact.
FSC’s degree program is designed to equip students with machine learning, algorithms, statistical reasoning, ethics, and sustainability knowledge. The program explores the application of AI within the functional areas of business, including marketing, finance, operations management, supply chain management, and project management.
This program is tailored to meet the unique needs of transfer students from Long Island community colleges and the Greater New York region. However, its allure extends far beyond geographical boundaries, attracting working adults from all over the country.
