The Family Nurse Practitioner 45-credit typical curriculum prepares nurses for an advanced role as a health provider in a variety of primary care settings. Graduates of the F.N.P. track are qualified to sit for the Family Nurse Practitioner certification examination. The curriculum for this track is based upon the M.S.N. core courses.

Courses in advanced health assessment, pathophysiology and pharmacology provide a core of essential content for the family nurse practitioner specialty courses. These courses will focus on health promotion, health protection and disease prevention and commonly occurring health conditions for populations across the life span. Health management practices associated with such conditions will be emphasized with the integration of environmental factors on health.

The program also includes 660 total clinical practicum clock hours. Clinical practicum clock hours are determined using a 1:4 ratio (one credit hour is equivalent to 4 clock hours). For example, a 3 credit practicum course includes 12 clinical practicum hours/week for 15 weeks = 180 clinical practicum clock hours within the semester.
