    If you aspire to become a change-maker in nursing, well-prepared to lead the charge of improving health care in our country, our Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program may be the right choice for you. Although we offer several paths of study in pursuit of this terminal degree, some elements remain consistent: a mastery of clinical practice, a drive to lead, and a commitment to human connection.
    Our DNP program prepares nurses at the highest level of proficiency as they learn to translate science into clinical practice. Students develop the skills to lead collaboratively, integrate research into care, and design better healthcare delivery systems. Some of our DNP students focus their studies on delivering complex care over the lifespan of one population. Others scale up their impact to shape entire systems, organizations, and policies through executive or administrative roles.

    Whatever your intended focus, you’ll earn your DNP in a unique environment that blends academic strength with nurturing support. Here, what truly fosters our students’ success is their personal connection to our expert nurse faculty as, together, we push science into practice.

    Students may choose from seven tracks: Family Nurse Practitioner; Family Nurse Practitioner in Emergency Care; Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; Dual Adult-Gerontology/Family Nurse Practitioner; Dual Pediatric/Family Nurse Practitioner; Health Systems Leadership and Nursing Informatics and Data Science. The BSN to DNP program ranges from 78 to 83 units and may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Whichever track is selected, students receive the unwavering support of our faculty, plus a sunny, serene setting that allows for total immersion into their studies.
