Nursing DNP
Become a leader in the field of nursing.
Prepare for the highest level of career attainment and specialization in nursing.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is the terminal degree for practicing nurses, as opposed to a PhD in nursing, which is more research/education-based. DNP graduates emerge prepared for the highest level of practice and ready to serve in advanced clinical and leadership positions. They are skilled in translating evidence into practice and in achieving optimal outcomes at the patient, population and system levels.
Designed for You
- This program is for working nurses who hold advanced degrees and are seeking the highest level of educational attainment and/or to become leaders within healthcare organizations.
