Mission

The purpose of the DNP program is to prepare scholars and researchers to contribute to the growth of nursing practice and health care delivery through recognized methods of scholarly inquiry and dissemination of practice innovations. Additionally, graduates of this program will be prepared to collaborate with PhD colleagues to provide innovative leadership to the profession and make the practice of nursing more effective.

Student Learning Outcomes

  • Students will integrate knowledge, theories, and concepts from the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organization sciences to develop ethical health care systems and new frontiers for nursing practice which assist with the resolution of health care disparities.
  • Students will be able to evaluate research methods and findings to create an evidence base for nursing practice and health care delivery systems that reflect best practices and alleviate health care disparities.
  • Students will be able to make meaningful contributions in the area of developing quality, cost effective health care collaborations addressing health care disparities.
