Welcome

Designed for nurses with master's degrees in nursing, our Post Master's Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certificate program allows you to become a family nurse practitioner while continuing to work and maintain family commitments in your own community. As a full-time student, you can complete the program in one year. We also offer part-time tracks.

As an FNP, you will focus on wellness promotion and illness prevention from a holistic, family,
and community health perspective.

FNPs are in high demand because of their skills in providing cost-effective, superior primary-care services.

To meet the needs of working professionals and to eliminate the need to commute daily to campus, we use:

• a web-based curriculum and self-directed learning.
• weekend seminars at the Pomona, CA, campus twice per semester.
• clinical training in your own community under the supervision of an approved preceptor.

Why Choose WesternU? We offer:

• a rigorous program of study that produces graduates who are in demand and highly respected by their employers.
