College of Health Professions Office of the Dean

The College of Health Professions Office of the Dean operates from inside 161 William St at the corner of 5th Floor offices; this academic department oversees programs in nursing, physician assistant studies, medical imaging, and public health. Programs span undergraduate certificates through doctoral tracks, with curricula designed to align with regional employer demand across greater NYC. Course sequences emphasize interprofessional education—nursing students train alongside PA candidates; medical imaging labs mirror hospital workflows before students begin clinical rotations. Scheduling forms a separate stream of services—advisors review transfer credits; faculty evaluate experiential learning portfolios; admissions counselors host spring open houses for prospective cohorts. Financial aid counseling runs year-round, and the office distributes competitive scholarships for allied health disciplines. Placement support extends beyond the classroom: they coordinate early clinical placements in Manhattan hospitals and long-term residency partnerships in Brooklyn clinics. Academic policies get equally careful handling—petitions for course overloads, leaves of absence, and grade appeals move through standardized workflows with published deadlines. Each term’s bulletin outlines registration windows and academic standing alerts, reducing paperwork for both students and staff. Workshops on professional licensure exams are scheduled the week before finals in shared library study rooms across the building.
