Mission Aligned Admission Process (MAAP)

What is Holistic Admissions?

As part of its commitment to advancing excellence in academic nursing, AACN supports schools in designing admission processes that are mission-driven, evidence-informed, and aligned with institutional values. The MAAP process focuses on alignment, balance, and fairness and helping schools evaluate applicants consistently across experience, attributes, and metrics. AACN offers a tiered series of three workshop and consultation options to support schools from foundational knowledge to full implementation support.
