Management of the primary, acute and chronic health care needs of a culturally diverse population of adults across the life span is the focus of the Adult/Gerontological tracks. The nurse practitioner track focuses upon assessment and management of common acute and chronic health care problems of the adult in the primary care setting while the clinical nurse specialist track focuses upon these health problems in a variety of settings, including the hospital. In the CNS track, interdisciplinary coordination, patient education, quality improvement and project development activities are emphasized. The curriculum of each track builds upon knowledge and competencies from the baccalaureate education and integrates into the adult/geriatric courses the content of the Common Core and the Advanced Practice Core courses. The Master of Science in Nursing degree with a specialization as an Adult/Gerontological Nurse Practitioner or Clinical Nurse Specialist has three major components: The Common Core segment, the Advanced Practice Core segment and the Adult/Gerontological Specialty Core segment.
