Master of Science in Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner
ADVANCE YOUR NURSING CAREER AS A FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER WITH A HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT EMPHASIZES BOTH CARE AND CURE.
As a family nurse practitioner, you’ll become a clinical expert in health promotion and disease prevention. You’ll apply cutting-edge science and manage the health needs of patients in primary care settings. Our program will prepare you with the knowledge and clinical skills you need to assess and manage common acute and chronic illnesses. But at Mount Marty, you’ll learn to not only provide advanced patient care but to also care for your patients with compassion, understanding, and a spirit of service—as part of our Catholic Benedictine values. And clinical experiences in rural and under-served settings mean you’ll be able to provide primary care to those who need it most.
- Family Nurse Practitioner: Take your practice to the next level with a Master of Science degree in nursing and provide primary care for people of different backgrounds.
- Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Graduate Certificate: If you already have a master's degree in nursing, you are eligible for a family nurse practitioner certificate. After applying, we’ll assess your transcripts, coursework, clinical hours and grades, and course waivers may be granted. At the end of the program, you’ll be eligible for family nurse practitioner certification.
- Skills you’ll use. After completing the six-semester accredited program, you’ll be eligible to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) certification examinations to gain licensure as a family nurse practitioner.
- Convenient online and face-to-face courses. Coursework is both online and on campus. Most students enroll in the program while still working in their field.

Family Nurse Practitioner Enrollment
Family Nurse Practitioner Employment
It was refreshing to know my professors were always only a phone call away for anything I needed, whether it was related to course work or reading my resume when applying for advanced practice positions. Also, my professors provided me with the knowledge to not only make a positive impact on my patients clinically, but mentally and spiritually as well.
Traditional education might work well for some, but for the non-traditional student who must be able to work, travel, study, and spend quality time with their family, MMC’s Hybrid delivery is ideal. It allowed for my success in that I was able to coordinate work and family commitments around my school schedule.
I have been moved by the compassion and approach of the Master’s program professors. It is evident that they are driven to help us succeed in clinical practice and to assist us in making an impact in the medical community. They do this all while accomplishing those goals in their own careers. So, while they are teaching us course work and professional guidance, their impact as role models is much greater than they realize.
