The AGNP program is designed to educate nurses who can provide competent, culturally sensitive, cost-effective, accessible and efficient care with an emphasis on rural underserved populations.  It is certified by the National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence.

Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing

This campus-based learning program is designed to prepare the next generation of nurse scholars and scientists. The Ph.D. in Nursing program offers a singularly unique curriculum that is designed to prepare the nurse scientist for innovative and translational research through the use of transdisciplinary collaboration and teams. The Ph.D. in Nursing emphasizes the optimization of health care delivery through two foci: innovative care and innovations in healthcare delivery systems. Graduates competently and confidently conduct rigorous research to expand nursing science and translate findings to the bedside; lead others influenced by exemplary interdisciplinary research experiences; and identify problems in healthcare delivery, bringing theory, existing evidence, and scientific methods to innovative solutions to healthcare challenges. The program also offers a dual-title Ph.D. in Gerontology through the Center for Aging and the Life Course (CALC).
