Nursing Practice

The Doctorate of Nursing Practice program is proudly offered as a collaborative program through a consortium of four universities:Metropolitan State University, Minnesota State University Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, and Winona State University. It is intended for nurses with a masters degree who wish to gain the advanced clinical, organizational, economic, and leadership competencies necessary in an increasingly complex healthcare environment. Course content builds upon the master's degree and consists of a minimum of 36 credits. Throughout the course sequence, students will work with clinical experts and graduate faculty with expertise in applied research. A variety of teaching and learning approaches, primarily distance learning, will be used. The doctoral level didactic and clinical coursework, structured around the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Doctoral Education statement, culminates with an evidence-based clinical capstone project.
