DNP Program Plans
Students progress through each program in a group, following the same course sequence. This cohort model builds a community that challenges individuals academically and professionally.
The curriculum is organized around three components: systematic evaluation of practice, leadership/policy, and clinical practice.
Students meet requirements through coursework, a scholarly project, and supervised clinical hours.
