Family Nurse Practitioner
The NDMU Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program prepares advanced practice nurses to manage care for individuals of all ages in primary care settings. With caring at the center of nursing practice, you will learn to diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions with consideration for the whole person. Beyond managing disease, our program emphasizes wellness coaching to reduce the risk for chronic diseases linked to lifestyle choices.
Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
The NDMU Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (A-GNP) program prepares advanced practice nurses to manage care for adolescents through older adults in primary care settings. With caring at the center of nursing practice, you will learn to promote health, prevent illness, and manage acute and chronic conditions with consideration for the whole person. Beyond managing disease, our program emphasizes wellness coaching to reduce the risk for chronic diseases linked to lifestyle choices.

ANEW Grant
Notre Dame of Maryland University offers tuition support through the ANEW Program Grant for students pursuing the Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner programs who are interested in working with vulnerable and underserved populations. Funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the tuition support program helps students to manage financial stressors during the time-intensive clinical practicum portion of the program. Award recipients receive tuition support up to the $10,000 and a living stipend of $5,000 during the final 3 semesters of the program. Interested students may apply for the ANEW Grant through NDMU after being accepted to one of the population-focused Nurse Practitioner programs.
In-Person Learning
Small classes and personalized face-to-face instruction are both a driving factor for why nurses choose NDMU. In-person learning allows for more hands-on experience, and building relationships with those who will become your professional network.
Experienced Faculty
All of the FNP & AGNP professors at NDMU are practicing nurse practitioners. They have current, relevant knowledge on the latest practices and technologies, and care about you not only as students, but as people, too.
Caring Science
The Caring Science Theory which NDMU employs is built on an all-inclusive, authentic approach to providing healthcare that incorporates all facets of life: emotional, spiritual, physical.
Clinical Practicum
We have established partnerships with large healthcare facilities in the Baltimore area, which provide our students with rich, primary care practicum experience. These increase in complexity throughout the program.
