DNP Curriculum

The DNP curriculum listed below is intended for Post-Master's DNP students.

FPB has a unique approach to "distance" learning. Most classes are held in an intensive format, meeting for a specifed number of days with additional meetings held online. A 3-credit course will meet for 5-6 days. Two courses are held online across the semester. Intensive sessions are given three times a year (January, May, and August) for at least two weeks. Papers and projects are due in the semester following the intensive session.
