The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is now accepting applications for its new Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree program. The program targets registered nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice as an alternative to a research-intensive PhD program.

DNP students will immerse themselves in a rigorous advanced practice curriculum, leadership development, residency hours, and a capstone project in a focused area of inquiry. Courses will be taught online and on site in classes that will take place over three weekends each semester.
