DNP CURRICULUM

DNP Conference Highlights October 15-16, 2009

The DNP curriculum listed below is intended for Post-Master's DNP students, since a Masters degree is required en route to completion of the DNP. DNP students who do not yet have Post-MSN status should check the curriculum requirements for Graduate Entry for Non-Nurses or Post-Licensure MSN/DNP (based on their chosen MSN major).

FPB has a unique approach to "distance" learning. All Post-Master's DNP courses are given as intensive classes, with a 3-credit hour class given over a six-day period. Intensive sessions are given three times a year (January, May, and August) for at least two weeks. Papers and projects are due in the semester following the intensive session. Check the intensive course schedule.
