The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is delivered through the Southern California CSU DNP Consortium, comprising CSU campuses in Fullerton and Los Angeles. This professional practice degree equips nurses for advanced clinical roles, leadership positions, and teaching opportunities at California community colleges and state universities. Enrolled students benefit from the combined faculty resources of three major institutions. Specializations available include Anesthesia, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Healthcare Management/Administration/Leadership, Midwifery, Nurse Practitioner, and Community Health Nursing. The DNP curriculum offers a challenging, intensive educational journey that readies nurses for top-tier professional practice. Beyond cultivating expertise in evidence-based care, leadership, health policy, and advocacy, students gain specialized knowledge in their chosen nursing field. The program requires completion of 1,000 clinical practicum hours.
