Plan of Study

Plan of Study elements are aligned with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials of the Doctor of Nursing Practice and these elements are threaded throughout the curriculum. The program is a lock-step program, where each course is only offered once a year. Unsuccessful completion of any course may require waiting an academic year to retake the course.

Learning Outcomes

1. Students will integrate knowledge, theories, and concepts from the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organization sciences to develop ethical health care systems and new frontiers for nursing practice which assist with the resolution of health care disparities.

2. Students will be able to evaluate research methods and findings to create an evidence base for nursing practice and health care delivery systems that reflect best practices and alleviate health care disparities.

3. Students will be able to make meaningful contributions in the area of developing quality, cost effective health care collaborations addressing health care disparities.
