The NYU College of Nursing DNP program is designed to prepare practice scholars for advanced clinical practice in a specialty area to be leaders who translate evidence-based knowledge into clinical practice, have a significant impact on health outcomes, and strengthen system level health care processes. Our DNP graduates are prepared to deliver direct patient care, influence health policy, promote patient safety, resolve health care dilemmas, lead interdisciplinary health teams, and reduce disparities in health care.
The 40-credit DNP program is a post-master's option offered in a convenient executive style format designed for busy working nurse practitioners (NP) and certified nurse-midwives (CNM). The program can be completed in five semesters or two years of full-time study integrating on-site classes with online and virtual learning experiences. The post-master's DNP option is designed for NPs and CNMs involved in advanced practice roles.
The first DNP cohort will enroll in the spring 2010 semester. Thereafter, one cohort a year will enroll each fall.
