This draft of a general program of study for an MSN-DNP student is listed below for discussion only. Each student receives an individualized program of study for their DNP Program. Failure to complete courses as presented in the program of study may result in a delay in your program completion and graduation.
Students complete a total of 1000 practice hours (post-baccalaureate) to increase their depth and breadth of knowledge in their interest area resulting in a scholarly project. Students in the Post-Masters-to-DNP may receive credit for some of their clinical hours completed in previous graduate clinical courses as determined on an individual basis. All clinical/practicum hours for each clinical/practicum course must be completed by the end of the 14-week semester.
