The MSN-DNP Program is a hybrid online curriculum with on-campus visits twice per semester throughout the students’ clinical courses in their areas of concentration. On-site requirements provide opportunities for networking with peers, formative learning, and summative assessments of advanced clinical skills within the College of Nursing’s high-fidelity simulation center. Synchronous online course meetings will also occur throughout the semester for case discussions, content review, and presentations. These mandatory online course meetings will be scheduled prior to the beginning of the term so students may arrange their schedules accordingly.
It is strongly recommended that applicants consider combining the post-graduate certificate with the DNP degree. The length of the post-graduate certificate program varies by specialty; consult the program web site for a sample certificate curriculum plan.
