Family Nurse Practitioner (Post-Professional)


Return to: School of Nursing: Certificate Programs   


The FNP track provides student-centered learning opportunities to develop the requisite foundational knowledge and skills for beginning practice as a primary care provider. Clinical and simulation activities prepare students to work with families and individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings, including rural and underserved areas. At the completion of the FNP track, students are eligible to write either the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) Family Nurse Practitioner examination. 

Public Professional Licensure Disclosure


Federal regulations require the University of Virginia to disclose whether its licensure-related degree programs meet or do not meet U.S. jurisdictions’ (states and territories) educational requirements for licensure (34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)). Furthermore, per 34 CFR 668.14(b)(32), UVA must, prior to a student’s enrollment into a licensure-related program, ensure the student plans to pursue licensure and employment in a jurisdiction in which the program meets that jurisdiction’s academic requirements. Please refer to the UVA’s Professional Licensure Program Disclosure Tool to either a.) determine if a UVA program meets or does not meet the educational requirements specified by the associated licensing board in a specific jurisdiction, or b.) view the status of all programs in a specific jurisdiction. Instructions for searching the Index are available on the Index page. 

Enrolled students who change their location to a different state or territory must notify UVA by contacting the University Registrar’s Office to update that information
