Program Overview

The Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) program prepares nurses to provide evidence-based primary healthcare in acute and critical care settings. Through a web-assisted model with in-person and online elements, students gain clinical experience, participate in simulations, and complete an evidence-based practice capstone project. Graduates are qualified to work in hospitals, specialty clinics, and long-term care facilities, delivering culturally competent care to adults and older adults with acute, chronic, or complex illnesses.
