Doctoral Programs
The School of Nursing offers three doctorates. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nursing Practice – Nurse Anesthesia (DNP-NA) degrees are practice doctorates while the Doctor of Philosophy Degree (Ph.D.) in Nursing is a research degree. The PhD and DNP programs are offered in an online format and provide advanced education to prepare nurse researchers, advanced
clinicians, and educators for the future. The DNP-NA program is in person and prepares graduates to take the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) exam upon completion of the program.
