The MSN to DNP is for students who hold a Master's degree in Nursing (MSN) with an advanced practice focus (clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, and nurse practitioner) from a MSN program accredited by CCNE, ACEN, or COA, and a regionally accredited institution, or the equivalent bachelor's degree in a nursing program from a foreign institution. The MSN to DNP builds upon a candidate's specialty practice area through a core that focuses on utilization of research in the practice setting, quality of care delivery, examination of health care outcomes, leadership in practice, and fundamentals of nurse education. Students may transfer a maximum of 9 credit hours of graduate level nursing course work taken within the last 5 years upon determination of equivalency with required DNP program courses.

The application deadline for priority admission to the DNP Program is March 1. After March 1, applications may be accepted on a space available basis.

Students are admitted to the program for the Fall semester only.
