What will I learn?

Today’s quickly evolving health care environment demands professionals who have the knowledge and skills to get the job done. The DNP program is designed to prepare clinicians with the knowledge and skills to provide the highest standard of care for individuals, families and communities and navigate today’s complex health care systems. Nurse Managers and administrators will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to develop, implement and monitor programs of care and policies in complex organizations.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice requires a minimum of 72 s.h. of graduate credit. Students may complete the program in three to five years, depending on their focus area. Individuals who have been granted an M.S.N. may complete the D.N.P. with a minimum of 27 s.h. of graduate credit.

D.N.P. students must complete a minimum of 1,000 practice experience hours. Individuals who enter the program having completed an M.S.N. may transfer approved clinical hours from their M.S.N. program to the D.N.P. program. The clinical hours requirement is evaluated for each student who has completed an M.S.N. with a specialty program. Students who completed more than 1,000 practice experience hours in an M.S.N. advanced practice program still must complete the number of D.N.P. practicum and capstone project hours determined in consultation with their advisor and the D.N.P. program director.
