The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program is a professional degree designed to create practice-ready advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) to lead the transformation of healthcare and provide evidence-based, holistic, innovative, and fiscally responsible healthcare. The APRN is prepared to deliver care that is diverse and inclusive of the determinants of health to positively impact individuals and communities in which they practice, particularly the Inland Empire region.

This three-year (nine-semester) BSN-DNP Program utilizes a hybrid synchronous and asynchronous approach. Students complete online didactic courses and 1,000 clinical hours; three on-campus advanced clinical skills development immersions (135 on-campus clinical hours), DNP Project implementation (70 hours), health assessment lab (45 hours), and direct patient care clinical rotations within assigned clinical sites (750 hours of in-person). Students apply the knowledge gained throughout the program to develop and implement a DNP Scholarly Project.

Upon completion of the DNP Program, students will have accomplished the requirements to be eligible to complete the national certification exam in the family nurse practitioner (FNP) specialty.
