The Wegmans School of Nursing offers five advanced practice (APRN) degree options:

  • Primary Care Family Nurse Practitioner (PCFNP), which qualifies the graduate to seek certification and employment as a family nurse practitioner.
  • Adult/Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist (AGCNS), which qualifies the graduate to seek certification as a clinical nurse specialist in the adult/gerontology clinical specialty.
  • Adult/Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP), which qualifies the graduate to seek certification and employment as a nurse practitioner in this primary care specialty.
  • Adult/Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP), which qualifies the graduate to seek certification and employment as a nurse practitioner in this acute care specialty.
  • Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), which qualifies the graduate to seek certification and employment as psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Post-master’s certificates and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) options are available in all five program areas noted above.

Study in any of these programs prepares students to continue on to a doctoral program of study, if that is a career goal. In addition, the Wegmans School of Nursing offers the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree program, which builds upon the master’s programs.
