Overview

Chatham University’s online Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program—designed for professional nurses who hold master’s degrees—is a rigorous program that affords nurses the ability to develop advanced competencies in their own clinical specialty areas. Each online course is 15 weeks in length, and only one brief on-campus residency is required at the end of the program.

Features

The DNP program curriculum focuses on innovative, evidence-based practice, and systems leadership to promote safe, quality, person-centered healthcare to a diverse population with complex needs. Students will design, implement, evaluate, and disseminate a clinical practice change in their specialty area, typically where they work.
