Overview

Key Features

The purposes of the graduate master’s programs in nursing are: to prepare graduates for specialization as adult-gerontology nurse practitioners and administrators; to develop leaders in the profession who are able to advance standards and create change for quality health care; and to provide a foundation for doctoral study.

Saint Peter’s University offers one option for nursing specialization at the master’s level:

Nursing - Primary Care (Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner)

A Post-Master’s program is also offered to prepare nurses as adult-gerontology nurse practitioners.

Reflective of the mission of Saint Peter’s University to equip persons for leadership and service through a value-based education, the master’s program prepares nurses for specialization in roles that are increasingly essential for today’s society. Students acquire a breadth and depth of knowledge, skills and values and are prepared to continually further their education.
