The purpose of the AACN Leadership for Academic Nursing Program (LANP) is to enhance the executive leadership skills of:

  • Individuals in mid to upper-level faculty positions who have experience in academic administration roles and who aspire to lead the nursing academic unit.

  • Individuals serving as chief academic administrators of nursing schools offering baccalaureate or graduate degrees who are new to the role (e.g., within three years).

LANP is designed for those who have experience in academic administration and who aspire to more senior administrative or executive positions within the nursing academic unit. It is not intended to prepare junior faculty for positions of higher responsibility. The year-long program provides participants with a focused assessment experience, a range of content and exercises related to successful executive leadership, and the opportunity to establish a peer network that fosters long-term partnerships and shares growth and development.

Application Deadline: Closed March 9, 2018


LANP features an intensive 5-day summer seminar, focused assessment activities, facilitation of a mentorship experience, opportunities for follow-up with seminar faculty, and the sharing of ideas and resources among fellows. The program focuses on key leadership competencies needed in complex nursing education and healthcare environments. LANP is devoted to general executive leader development. Note that fiscal and academic issues, while discussed and used as examples, are not the primary focus. Previous Fellows have evaluated the content very highly, calling it "life changing".
