Adelphi Nursing Achieves Outstanding 2025 NCLEX Pass Rates

Adelphi University continues its tradition of nursing excellence with exceptional 2025 NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) results.

The College of Nursing and Public Health's Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program graduates achieved a perfect 100 percent pass rate, and graduates of the traditional undergraduate nursing program attained 86.2 percent-preparing graduates to meet the urgent demand for skilled nurses in New York and beyond.

Deborah Hunt, PhD '12, dean of Adelphi's College of Nursing and Public Health, attributed the success to the dedication of faculty and students. "We are extremely proud of our 2025 NCLEX pass rates for first-time test takers in our accelerated and traditional nursing programs," Dr. Hunt said. "These results reflect the hard work of our highly motivated students, our dedicated faculty and administrators, our NCLEX success plan, and our highly ranked programs."

Ranked among the top 28 percent of undergraduate nursing programs in the nation, Adelphi climbed an impressive 32 spots to No. 186 in the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings. Combined with its status as a top-tier graduate school, Adelphi is one of the best nursing institutions in New York.

In response to growing demand, Adelphi will expand its Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program to its new Manhattan Center location on Fifth Avenue, with applications now open for the upcoming Summer 2026 session beginning in May. Students enrolled in this accelerated program who already have a bachelor's degree and prerequisites can earn their nursing degree in just 15 months, fast-tracking them to becoming a registered nurse (RN). Nursing graduates are in high demand in New York City, and this degree program responds to this critical healthcare need in the metropolitan area.
