DNP Family Nurse Practitioner Programs
Primary care across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. This page lists DNP programs with a family nurse practitioner track and schools that reported DNP-level awards in that field to IPEDS.
A specialty track prepares students for a national certification exam; eligibility is set by the certifying body and the school. See the FNP hub for every degree level.
