Master of Science in Nursing and Post-Master’s
Family Nurse Practitioner

The Master of Science in Nursing and Post-Master’s Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) clinical concentration prepares graduates to care for families and individuals across the lifespan. The curriculum focuses on family nursing in primary care settings allowing students to gain a broad knowledge of people of all ages. There is a strong focus on health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention.

The clinical component provides interdisciplinary experiences working with other health care providers in caring for individuals and their families. Students develop the expertise to assess individuals, diagnose illness, and prescribe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions in the treatment of clients across the lifespan.

Students that complete the program are eligible to take the FNP certification examination offered by the American Nurse Credentialing Center or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Requirements for the degree or certification are outlined in the curriculum overviews. Non-thesis options are available for students seeking a MSN.

For information on clinical preceptorships, please see our Preceptor Guidelines (pdf).

Prospective students should be aware that all School of Nursing students are required to have a computer and must have basic computer skills. For more information on computer requirements see computer requirements and recommendations.
