Our program equips nursing professionals to excel in advanced practice roles, providing students with the expertise and competencies needed to lead in intricate healthcare environments, foster innovation, and implement evidence-based approaches to enhance patient outcomes.
To explore our DNP Program further, we recommend attending an information session. These sessions cover admission requirements before transitioning to specialized discussions with faculty and current students in each concentration. Event schedules and specifics will be announced. The BS-DNP curriculum spans three years (eight consecutive terms) and is exclusively offered as a full-time commitment. Women's Health Nurse Practitioners (WHNPs) specialize in addressing women's health needs from adolescence through adulthood, while also providing reproductive healthcare for men. WHNPs play a pivotal role in coordinating comprehensive care across outpatient and hospital settings.
As a WHNP doctoral candidate, you will:
Cultivate abilities to shape healthcare policies through engagement with professional associations and policy initiatives at various levels
Complete coursework in research-driven practice, quality enhancement, and organizational leadership
Engage with varied patient demographics
Take part in cutting-edge simulation training and collaborative learning experiences
Have the opportunity to pursue dual certification in WHNP and Nurse Midwifery (adding one additional semester to the program)
