DNP/DrNP

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs typically require about 3 years of full-time study.* This program often emphasizes clinical practice – specifically, practice-oriented leadership development.

The DNP degree program could potentially prepare students to pursue leadership opportunities within clinical care delivery, patient outcomes, research, and system management.

Since this is an emerging type of doctoral program, focus areas will likely vary depending on the specific school.
