Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program
About the DNP Program
The DNP (Doctor of Nursing
Practice) program is a practice-focused doctoral program. The mission of the
Post-Master's DNP program is to prepare expert nurse clinicians,
administrators, and executive leaders to improve health and health care
outcomes through evidence-based practice in diverse clinical, health care,
and academic settings. The goal for this program is to provide educational
experiences in a transdisciplinary collaborative learning environment, with
an intense capstone experience that emphasizes evidence-based approaches for
quality and safety improvement in various roles and practice settings and
provides students with interactive mentorship by clinical experts. 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.
