The decisions you’ll make as a nurse practitioner can literally save somebody’s life, and that’s a huge responsibility. Ours is a rigorous program that prepares you for that responsibility, and we’re upfront with students: this program will challenge you, but it’s worth it.

Who Should Apply?

Your professional experience is valuable preparation as you move from an MSN to a DNP. If you already have a nursing master’s degree and are an APRN, the DNP is an excellent option for you. We welcome experienced advanced practice nurses from all specialties and practice environments interested in developing expert-level skills and leadership through our DNP nursing program.
