Program Benefits

  • Daemen nursing students pay community college tuition in their second and third year and are given a 50 percent tuition discount when they return to Daemen for their final year of the program.

  • Daemen has added more guaranteed seats and opportunities with our nursing 1+2+1 partnership with Niagara County Community College.
  • Students have the advantage of working as a registered nurse after their third year.
