The general DNP program is a Post-Master’s option that builds on experience earned in a traditional Master of Science program. Students will explore the underpinnings of practice, healthcare policy, leadership, and quality improvement. Students will gain the understanding of how to address population health issues in addition to individual health issues. The Post-Master's option is only available to students with prior certification as a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, clinical nurse specialist or an MS-prepared nurse with experience in informatics who wants to obtain the DNP without seeking a new practice specialty. Graduates of the program are prepared as advanced practice nurses.
The College of Nursing at the University of Arizona offers a variety of programs at the graduate level.
