Curriculum

Students in the CAGS FNP program must have evidence of successful completion of the core MSN courses listed in the table below or equivalent. The courses must have been completed with a letter grade of B or higher at an accredited 4-year academic institution. The 3P courses (Adv. Pathophysiology, Adv. Pharmacology, Adv. Health Assessment) must be completed within three years prior to admission to the program to be considered for transfer credits. Students who have not completed the academic equivalent of the core MSN courses will be required to take the courses to complete the CAGS.

Track Courses are required to be taken at MCPHS with a grade of B or better to fulfill the CAGS requirement. A gap analysis will be performed after acceptance into the program, and an individualized plan of study will be provided. The SON Graduate Program reserves the right to evaluate student applications, transcripts, and practice experience to determine program plans of study. Decisions made by the SON Graduate Program are final and cannot be appealed.

CAGS students are required to attend three residencies. The New Student Orientation Residency is held online prior to starting the first semester. Two additional required residencies are 2-days in length, held on the Worcester, MA campus.
