Program Description:
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a practice focused program that combines a scholarly approach to the discipline of nursing while advancing the profession of
nursing through practice. The program is designed to prepare students for leadership roles in nursing. The program does not prepare students to obtain a state RN or APRN license. Intensive, immersive experiences inform the practice-focused DNP Capstone Project. The program requires students to complete 1000 hours of clinical practice immersion hours. Program applicants who provide evidence of clinical hours from an MSN or other nursing specific degree have the potential to have a percentage of those hours applied to the required 1000 prior to the Project course sequence.
