Visioning the Future of Nursing

The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies’ MSN-to-DNP program prepares nurses for the most advanced levels of nursing practice and for leadership roles across the healthcare spectrum.

Courses are completed in a hybrid format, consisting primarily of online instruction in addition to 3-4 face-to-face weekends on campus per semester.  Online components and practical experiences are assigned between classes.  The curriculum prepares graduates to create, administer, and evaluate practice interventions and healthcare systems, and it focuses on reducing healthcare disparities. Students are encouraged to remain in the workforce, applying the knowledge and skills they acquire in the classroom to their practice environment.

Graduates of this program are experts in nursing practice, focusing heavily on evidence-based practice innovations and reflecting the application of credible research findings.
