RN - BS
Developing the leaders.
For today.
And tomorrow.
The Geriatric Nursing Leadership (GNL) Program is a specialty track within the University of Utah's on-line RN - BS program. The program, designed to improve geriatric nursing care, is innovative in its outcome of universally recognized credentials (a baccalaureate degree and/or preparation for national certification), targeting educational parity of nursing leadership with other leaders in long-term care.

- Fully on-line curriculum
- Focus on the care of older adults in all settings
- Emphasis on leadership development
- Students progress as a distinct cohort
