DOCTORATE OF NURSING PRACTICE (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.
