Changes in enrollment and faculty resources require the Department of Nursing to close its Adult Nurse Practitioner program effective May 2010. We are not accepting new applications to this program.
In order to optimize enrollments and maximize faculty resources, the Department of Nursing will be conducting a review of the Family Nurse Practitioner program this coming spring. We expect that this program review will bring changes to the current family nurse practitioner curriculum. We are not accepting applications to the program spring 2008 but anticipate we will be accepting applications for a new curriculum beginning September 2008.
Our nurse practitioner graduates continue to excel on the national certification exam and are well-received in the regional community. We plan to continue to provide premier nurse practitioner education.
