Nurse Practitioner Concentration (NP) - College of Nursing - Michigan State University

Primary Care that Improves Community Health

The Nurse Practitioner (NP) program is designed to prepare nurses who have the leadership skills and clinical expertise necessary to deliver primary care and improve health outcomes in community settings.

This ‘hybrid’ program combines online learning and traditional classroom courses with clinical practice experiences.

Students may select from two areas of specialization:
• Adult/Gerontological Nurse Practitioner
• Family Nurse Practitioner

Students who successfully complete the MSN Nurse Practitioner concentration qualify to sit for the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) for Family or Adult/Gerontological certification examination. These graduates are also eligible to apply for specialty certification by the State of Michigan.
