This series contains course materials from the School of Nursing. Files include course descriptions and objectives, blank tests and exams, handouts, and syllabi. Faculty and administrators created all the materials. Please note that sometimes the school retained course materials for different academic years in the same file. Other times, materials were separated by year. The archivist retained both types of original order. In addition, see Series 2 for files on R.N. Challenge Exams and transitional courses.

This series consists of administrative materials, the majority created by the office of the Dean of the School of Nursing. This includes various committee meeting agendas and minutes, faculty meeting minutes, and files about the phase-out of the School of Nursing in the late 1970s. There are also twenty files documenting relationships with local area clinical agencies through which nursing students obtained field experience. In addition, the file "Hudson Valley League for Nursing" contains papers on this ad hoc committee's 1964-1965 investigation and formal study on the need for additional baccalaureate and/or master's nursing education programs in the geographic area. The study recommended the establishment of both a baccalaureate and a master's program in nursing at the State University of New York at Albany. The file "Program Development Materials" includes course descriptions.
