Doctoral Programs
The School of Nursing offers four doctorates. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nursing Practice – Nurse Anesthesia (DNP-NA) and BSN-DNP Pathway degrees are practice doctorates while the Doctor of Philosophy (PH.D) in Nursing is a research degree. The PhD and DNP programs are offered in an online and hybrid format that provides advanced education to prepare nurse researchers, advanced clinicians, administrators, and educators for the future. The DNP-NA program is in person and prepares graduates to take the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) exam upon completion of the program.
