About the DNP Program
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is a practice-focused doctoral program designed to prepare expert nurse clinicians, administrators, and executive leaders to improve health and health care outcomes. The focus is on innovative and evidence based nursing practice, applying research processes to decision-making, and translating credible research findings to increase the effectiveness of both direct and indirect nursing practice.
The 38-credit DNP program is a post-master's option, offered in a convenient executive-style format designed for the busy working professional. The program can be completed in four semesters of full-time study, integrating approximately two weeks of on-site classes each semester with online and virtual learning experiences. Part-time study will be offered on a space available basis.
The DNP is designed for nurses involved in any advanced practice role including but not limited to: clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, public health practitioner, nurse executive, nurse informatician, and health policy analyst.
The DNP begins in the fall only.
