Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGNP)*

The Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) Program prepares students to provide advanced primary care to adults across the age continuum, from adolescent to frail elderly. Students in the AGPCNP program gain a strong background in advanced health assessment, differential diagnosis, interpretation of laboratory and imaging diagnostics, and therapeutics to maximize the health of their patients. Advanced health promotion, disease prevention, and high-quality, cost-effective management of episodic and chronic health problems are emphasized.  Students complete 39 credits in theory and clinical practicum courses, including 600 hours of supervised clinical practice in primary care settings. Upon graduation, students will be eligible to apply for national certification as an AGPCNP, and state-sanctioned prescriptive authority.
