There are 2 degree pathways. Based on a the admission application, a student can seek admission to the BSN to DNP degree or Post-Master's DNP degree. The BSN to DNP pathway includes courses for preparation as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). The pathways can be completed in a traditional or hybrid format. The DNP pathways also include executive-format courses on Fridays and Saturdays for some classes. Students have the option to complete the program full-time or part-time.

Because this is a practice-focused program, each student must complete a total of 1000 clinical practice hours. At least 300 hours must be completed as part of the Post-Master's. For the Post-Master's pathway, students may transfer up to 700 hours from an accredited MSN degree program.
