The Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialization trains students to become entry-level primary care providers for family medicine. Graduates become eligible to sit for the FNP national certification exam after completing the program. Admission to the FNP Graduate Certificate program requires applicants to hold an advanced practice nursing degree.
The DNP curriculum outlines the mandatory coursework for this specialization. Course sequencing in the DNP program supports students' academic progress. The study plan specifies required courses for each term. Since DNP courses are offered annually, strict adherence to the program's study plan during registration is crucial. Students must consult with their faculty advisor at least once per term to evaluate their academic plan. Maintaining compliance with the DNP study plan is the student's responsibility, and any requested modifications must be communicated to their advisor. Alterations to the study plan may affect anticipated graduation timelines and require faculty advisor authorization.
