Nursing Leadership & Healthcare Administration Track

If your goal is to lead and make impactful decisions in healthcare settings, the Leadership and Healthcare Administration track may be right for you.

You'll learn about budgeting, human resources management, strategic planning, and promoting nurse recruitment and retention. This path is designed for those who aspire to hold influential positions in healthcare organizations, driving change and ensuring quality patient care.

Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) Track

The AGNP track is tailored for nurses who wish to provide direct, comprehensive care to adults across their lifespan. This specialization equips nurses with the skills to offer culturally sensitive and evidence-based healthcare, addressing the unique needs of adult and senior populations. As an AGNP, you'll guide patients to optimal health and well-being, managing chronic conditions and promoting preventive care.

Career Growth and Opportunities
