Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
The DNP is an applied doctorate in the areas of clinical practice, nursing leadership and nursing education. The purposes of the DNP are to develop advanced competencies for increasingly complex practice, faculty, and leadership roles in nursing and to provide an advanced educational credential for those who require advanced practice knowledge but do not need or want a strong research focus. In addition to developing competencies in evidence-based practice, leadership, health policy and advocacy, graduates will develop in-depth skills in a focused area of nursing practice.
