NursingProcess.org has ranked Neumann’s Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) program as one of the Top 10 Best Online AGACNP Programs in Pennsylvania for the second consecutive year.

“This distinction highlights the ongoing quality, rigor, and impact of our program,” says Program Director William Pezzotti, “and places Neumann University among the leading institutions in the state offering AGACNP education.”

Established in 2011, Nursing Process is an online guide for aspiring nurses and nursing professionals. The site provides current information about nursing education and careers, including degrees, schools, various nursing specialties, salaries, career advice, and other nursing-related topics. Its content is crafted by an experienced team of nurse writers.

One of 19 accredited online AGACNP programs in the state, the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care program at Neumann was approved in March 2023 by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and enrolled its first cohort in spring 2024. All Master of Science in Nursing programs at Neumann University are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).

Developed by experienced nursing faculty, Neumann’s AGACNP curriculum aligns with the university’s mission to provide quality education in the Franciscan tradition. Graduates learn the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for competent and ethical professional practice while incorporating the university’s RISES values.

The AGACNP program is offered fully online and can be completed in just seven semesters.

The publication ranked eligible nurse practitioner programs (approved by either the ACEN or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) based on four critical factors: academic quality (40%), range of nurse practitioner pathways and specialties offered by the school (20%), affordability (20%), and the editorial team’s ratings (20%).
