Family Nurse Practitioner Emphasis

BSN to DNP Program

The Doctor of Nursing Practice–Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Emphasis is a 74-credit BSN to DNP program offered in a full-time (three year) or part-time (four year) plan of study. This hybrid program prepares graduates for the highest level of nursing practice by integrating courses in evidence-based practice, informatics, leadership, collaboration, and knowledge of systems and healthcare policy with specialized FNP education. Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the FNP certification examination.

In addition to online coursework, classes take place on campus every Tuesday with students from other UW Oshkosh graduate nursing programs. This DNP program culminates in an intensive FNP residency immersion and completion of a scholarly project.

DNP tuition and fees can be found on the Student Financial Services website
