The nurse practitioner program offered jointly by Clarion and Slippery Rock Universities has been approved by the Boards of Nursing and Medicine so that its graduates are eligible for state certification as nurse practitioners. Upon graduation, individuals are eligible to take the examinations for professional certification as FNPs through organizations such as the American Nurses Association and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. The educational policies and procedures are continually being reviewed and changed in keeping with the educational mission of the university.
