Students who complete the MSN Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) program receive training to provide comprehensive healthcare for patients ranging from teenagers to elderly individuals. Their education focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating both acute conditions and ongoing health issues while emphasizing preventive care and wellbeing promotion.
Designed with working nurses in mind, the program follows a flexible part-time schedule using a hybrid learning approach. This combines real-time virtual classes with mandatory campus visits for hands-on labs and simulation exercises that develop critical clinical competencies.
The program requires completion of 45 total credit hours - including 35 classroom credits and 10 clinical rotation credits supervised by experienced primary care providers - typically spread across six or seven consecutive academic terms.
