Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate
28.0 credits

The Post-Master's Certificate Program is offered to those individuals who have earned a master's degree in nursing and seek further preparation in another area of nursing. The program can generally be completed in one year of part-time study. Transcripts will be reviewed and course work will be determined on an individual basis.

Program of Study
