The Post-Master’s DNP track is designed for students with a Master of Science in Nursing degree and national certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. The Post-Master’s curriculum is 45 credit hours and clinical practicum hours are individualized, based upon prior coursework.

Courses are delivered on a part-time basis, using a low-residency model, which includes online coursework with one on-campus visit in the final semester of the program. Clinical practicum hours may be completed in the student’s community with an approved preceptor. In addition to clinical practicum experiences, students may choose to take elective courses in nursing or other areas of graduate study.

The DNP program received full accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) in 2016, meeting nationally mandated standards.
