Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate of Advance Study
At California State University, Fresno, the post-master's nurse practitioner certificate is 33 units. Applicants may receive credit toward the certificates for graduate courses taken previously. Typically, the main courses that are requested for credit are the advanced theories and advanced issues courses. In order to request a course substitution, the applicant must submit a copy of the course description, objectives, and assignments for review by the graduate coordinator. At that time, the course of study will be determined with input from the student and school graduate curriculum committee. Students seeking post-master's certificates are exempt from some coursework and have a shorter program.
