The Doctor of Nursing Practice Program builds on a foundation of previous advanced nursing education and prepares nurses who demonstrate leadership, clinical expertise and innovation in problem recognition and resolution. The required courses identified for the DNP curriculum meet the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials.  Our innovative DNP Program prepares clinical leaders to advance nursing and improve health care in our local community and around the world. This program is offered with two formats: accelerated online asynchronous and traditional semester online with synchronous online classes.
