Your clinical placement is our pledge.
We understand securing clinical placement as part of the post master's AGACNP program is one of the biggest concerns students face. At Herzing, we offer guidance and support through our step-by-step Clinical Guidance Process to ensure you can get the clinical practice experiences you need.
As a Herzing student, we’ll encourage you to find your own preceptor and clinical sites as there are many benefits to doing so. However, we provide extensive support should you find difficulty along the way. With Herzing, you are never on your own.
Because of our strong relationships with healthcare providers across the U.S. and our comprehensive Clinical Guidance Process, we are confident in our ability to help you find clinical placement. So much so that if you are unable to find a clinical site on your own, we pledge to step in and help you secure clinical placement

Accreditation
Students should be aware that there are multiple types of accreditation and that their intended entry into their chosen profession could be impacted by these differences. Herzing University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission , a regional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Accreditation from a recognized institutional accrediting body is required in order for an institution like Herzing to have eligibility to participate in the Title IV federal student financial aid programs.
In addition, there are programmatic accreditation bodies which accredit specific programs (as opposed to the institution). Some states require that specific programs, even at a regionally accredited institution like Herzing University,obtain programmatic accreditation. The importance of programmatic accreditation can range from: (i) a requirement to sit for licensure exams that are mandatory to work in a field; (ii) a requirement to sit for a certification exam that is not required for all employment in the field (but may be slightly to strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market); or, (iii) to a symbol of quality with no impact on any certification or licensure (but which may be slightly or strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market). Herzing University has not pursued all forms of programmatic accreditation available, as this is a determination on whether the costs and requirements to do so are worth the value to the student in the respective marketplaces in the estimation of the University.
Herzing University believes in complete and forthright disclosure for each program we offer, so we identify those programs that are programmatically accredited. If a Herzing University program at a specific location (or one that is offered online) does not state it has programmatic accreditation in writing, students should assume the program does not have programmatic accreditation. Herzing University makes no representation, unless explicitly written, that students graduating in a program qualify for certification, licensing, or eligibility to sit for a licensing examination in a particular state. For further clarification, students should review the specialized program accreditation/approvals stated in the catalog and read and sign the Accreditation Disclosure for their respective campus. Students may seek confirmation of programmatic accreditation by consulting the website of the accrediting body.
Some states may not permit a student to become certified, licensed, or sit for a certifying or licensing examination unless they graduated from a programmatically accredited program. Students are responsible for understanding the specific requirements for certification, licensing, and for eligibility to sit for a licensing examination of the state or locale in which they want to enter or practice their profession and for understanding how certification or licensing requirements may impact eligibility for hiring by preferred employers in those locations.

Programmatic Accreditations, Approvals, and Licensures by Campus
Herzing University also holds programmatic accreditations or approvals for selected programs at selected locations. Not all programs require specialized programmatic accreditation, and some new programs must be in operation for a period before specialized accreditation can be obtained. Specialized programmatic accreditation may be required for graduates to be eligible to take some licensure or certification examinations. Unless this catalog specifically and unequivocally states that a program at a location (including Herzing Online) is programmatically accredited and qualifies a student for licensing, certification, or to be eligible to sit for a licensing examination, students should conclude the program offered on the campus they are enrolled at is not programmatically accredited. Students should independently investigate the specific licensing requirements for their program in the specific state or locale for which they anticipate seeking employment.
