DNP – Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP)
The College of Graduate Nursing (CGN) at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app pioneered the delivery of a web-based family nursing practitioner program in 1997 – the very first program of its kind in the nation. Today, that legacy continues with our Doctor of Nursing Practice/Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP/FNP) program.
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app College of Graduate Nursing offers a seamless progression to earn your Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree along with your Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certificate/credential.
Our hybrid online learning program delivers the knowledge and skills to prepare you for your FNP role and Doctor of Nursing Practice degree within a flexible schedule. Our campus-based seminar intensives, on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app California campus, and clinical experiences in a designated community will prepare you for clinical and doctoral practice within a variety of healthcare settings.
Learn more about the program by visiting the Requirements page. Here you will discover the importance of the DNP and understand what it takes for you to start the journey. Soon, you will be providing comprehensive care to patients, families, and communities.
