Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
You may enroll in 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ·â€™s doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program as a holder of either a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in nursing.
If you seek post-master’s admission to the program, you must have an advanced-practice specialization as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, certified registered nurse anesthetist, or certified nurse midwife. If you are on the post-baccalaureate track, becoming a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist is part of your studies. 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ· also offers a dual-degree AGACNP and CRNA program.
The DNP program’s accelerated format provides both full- and part-time options for study. The program can be completed in six semesters of full-time study on the post-graduate track, while you should be willing to commit to three years if you are traveling the post-baccalaureate path full-time.
