The doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree appeals to nurses who are interested in a practice-focused doctorate. DNP graduates will be prepared as clinical leaders, who will design models of health care delivery, evaluate clinical outcomes, identify and manage health care needs of populations, and use technology and information to transform health care systems. The DNP degree has been suggested as a way to increase the number of doctoral prepared nursing faculty.
There are two main pathways to the DNP. For those applicants with a BS in nursing, the MS-DNP pathway offers the MS in nursing with an advanced practice specialty while simultaneously advancing toward the DNP degree. Review the DNP program for more information.
Be sure to review all application materials and requirements before applying for the master’s program at the College of Nursing.
