All DNP students must complete a combination of 6 credits minimum of NUR 702 or NUR-740.
NUR 703: course is 1-5 hours variable credit; must be taken for minimum of 3 credit hours
After students take NUR 702 for 2 semesters, in lieu of NUR 702, they may enroll in NUR 740 1 credit every 8 weeks instead of 702, while working on their project, until they graduate.
All BSN to DNP students must complete a total of 1000 residency hours to earn their DNP degree. Students are eligible to apply any post-baccalaureate hours earned as part of an educational program towards their required 1000-hour total. Students pursuing either the FNP or Leadership cognate can elect to earn residency hours progressively throughout their DNP degree. Students in the Leadership cognate will earn residency hours in both NUR 641 as required by the degree and NUR 703 as part of their final DNP project. Students in the FNP cognate will earn residency/clinical hours in their FNP clinical courses as well as in their final DNP project.
Each credit of residency (both NUR 641 and NUR 703) equates to a minimum of 90 clock hours, and is not to exceed 134 total hours per credit.
The BSN to DNP program is offered as a full time option only (9 semesters). There is no option to complete this program part time. There is no “exit” point in the BSN to DNP for students who decide later that they wish to pursue the MSN degree. If BSN to DNP students opt to pursue the MSN option, they will be expected to apply for full admission to the MSN track. Students who experience an interruption in progression will be advised on an individual basis. Rare exceptions are made only for personal/family/academic reasons.
