Graduates of Le Moyne’s FNP program are trained as competent and compassionate clinicians who provide excellent community-based primary care to diverse, under-served, and vulnerable populations.

There are a maximum of six prerequisites (completed through Le Moyne) required. A personalized assessment of your coursework will be done after the admission interview to assist in your planning.
