Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner M.S.

Advanced practice nurses are vital members of a health care team necessary to meet the growing needs of adult and elderly populations, especially in our most rural areas. Demand for A.G.P.C.N.P.s is high due to aging population, financial efficiency of treatment by a nurse practitioner and lack of medical providers in rural areas. UND's A.G.P.C.N.P. master's degree prepares students to provide primary care to adults across the lifespan.
