The ACNP assumes responsibility for promoting, maintaining, and restoring health to adults who are chronically, acutely or critically ill. The ACNP is an online program that requires occasional travel to the Lubbock campus.

Upon completion of course requirements, graduates of the Masters and Post Masters Programs are eligible to sit for the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam.
