This certificate as a family nurse practitioner (F.N.P.) builds on your original master's degree curriculum. All F.N.P. required courses must be taken at Wright State University or you will take an examination or demonstrate similar course content in your previous graduate program. The coursework is delivered online, except for five campus visits, making the program highly accessible to those who have complicated work schedules and might not live in proximity to the Dayton campus.
