What will I learn?

This dual option provides students the opportunity to earn a Post-Masters Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate and Doctor of Nursing Practice simultaneously. The Post-Masters Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate and Doctor of Nursing Practice combined option provide a solid academic and practical foundation for master’s prepared nurses without current certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

The Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate is designed for nurses who already hold a master’s degree in nursing and offers an educational pathway to specialization as a primary care provider. Upon completion of the Post-Masters Certificate, students will be eligible for Family Nurse Practitioner national certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB).

The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is designed for nurses who hold a master’s degree in nursing and offers an educational pathway to earn the highest clinically focused doctoral degree in nursing. Upon completion of the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program, students will possess forward-thinking clinical and systems leadership skills to promote the application of evidence-based practice to address the nation’s increasingly complex healthcare needs.
