The New York State Education Department, under Regent’s direction, administers professional regulation through the Office of the Professions. The Adult Education Department is authorized by the Office of the Professions to offer three different preparation programs that culminate in state licensing.
The Practical Nursing Program is under the direction of the NYS Office of the Professions (http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/).
