Develop Your Advanced Nursing Career. Pursue a DNP.

Purdue Global's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is designed to prepare advanced practice nurses to thrive in today's rapidly changing health care environment. With the shrinking number of primary care providers, the nursing shortage, and the increasing complexity of patient care, the field of nursing needs clinical experts and leaders with the highest level of scientific knowledge and expertise.

Practice Experience

Practice experiences are designed to empower students to integrate theory and scientific evidence in the quality improvement of health care systems or in population health for the nation’s major health care concerns.

Scholarly Project

The program culminates in the successful completion of a practice-focused project that is completed over the course of several terms. This project must demonstrate a student’s ability to synthesize scientific evidence and develop new systems or population health approaches that produce real-world outcomes in their practice settings.

At this time, the Doctor of Nursing Practice program is not available in the following states and territories: Hawaii, Louisiana, New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. In addition, international students are not eligible to enroll in this program.
