Curriculum
The UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Post-Master’s Program is a two-year online and hybrid commitment. This means students will participate online in asynchronous and synchronous sessions with the professors and cohort.
We recognize that our students are working professionals. Our programs requires our students to attend only one highly focused on-campus session each quarter. Attendance of the Prologue, Intersession, and Epilogue portions of the program is mandatory.
The DNP Post-Master’s program curriculum is designed to create leaders, with education in organizational and systems leadership for quality improvement research and analytical methods for evidence-based practice, education, policy, and population health.Students will develop their abilities throughout the program, which includes 510 hours of clinical practicum. Their knowledge will be applied in the DNP Scholarly Project, a capstone project of original work that establishes the student as a clinical scholar.
