    Do you offer combined programs? I am looking to obtain both a CNM and WHNP. If you do offer combined programs, what is the curriculum like (ie. length) and tuition/fees. Thank you.

      Hi Sarah. No, you do not need to purchase Microsoft Windows for the online program.You will need to make adjustments to turn in homework if your instructor requires you to use Microsoft Office. Please contact an advisor for more details at 866-225-6764.
