The Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing (GSN) at the Uniformed Services University (USU) is dedicated to providing the nation with exceptional advanced practice nurses. For over 25 years, this institution has cultivated expert nurse clinicians, scientists, and scholars uniquely equipped to excel within military and federal healthcare systems.
Established in 1993 under the leadership of USU President Dr. James Zimble, the Graduate School of Nursing emerged to address a critical shortage of advanced practice registered nurses. Responding swiftly to national needs, USU established GSN to ensure federal healthcare beneficiaries receive the highest quality patient care.
Today, the Uniformed Services University’s Graduate School of Nursing offers a Master of Nursing Science (AGCNS Only), a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with specializations in Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist, Family Nurse Practitioner, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, as well as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing Science. GSN at the Uniformed Services University empowers students and faculty to collaboratively tackle the most pressing health challenges within military and federal sectors through rigorous research and practical application.
Graduates of the Uniformed Services University GSN are prepared to meet the complex demands of modern healthcare agencies. They are uniquely skilled to deliver outstanding, patient-centered care in diverse and demanding environments, both domestically and internationally.
