FAQs

What assessment targets are used for the Family Nurse Clinician (MSN) program?

Targets include first-attempt FNP certification exam pass rates, completion of a faculty-approved evidence-based research project with at least a B grade, and completing the final clinical check-off with a minimum grade of B prior to graduation.

Why is the certification measure for the Post-Graduate Advanced-Practice Registered Nurse Certificate marked inconclusive in 2023-2024?

No post-graduate students were enrolled that year, so the department could not evaluate whether the achievement target was met.

What were the 2023-2024 Kinesiology practical exam results and how were they interpreted?

Fifteen students completed the KIN 316 Practical Exam in Spring 2024, with a mean score of 95.47%, and all met the 70% or greater criterion. The results indicate demonstrated competence aligned with ACSM Exercise Physiologist knowledge, and curricula will continue to be monitored and revised if needed.
