The College of Nursing offers two online doctoral programs. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) with a major in nursing. U.S. News & World Report (2008) ranked the College of Nursing’s graduate programs among the top 6% in the United States.
The "First in Arizona" Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepares the nurse at the highest level of advanced nursing practice. The DNP is similar to other practice doctorates such as the MD, JD, DPT and Pharm D. The DNP offers three advanced practice specialties for students seeking nurse practitioner preparation: Adult Acute Care, Family and Pediatric. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has called for the adoption by 2015 of the DNP as the terminal nursing practice degree.
The state-of-the-art PhD program is designed to prepare scientists to conduct theory-based research in nursing, to engage in scholarly dialogue, and to contribute to the development of nursing knowledge. The PhD curriculum is designed as a full time, three-year, 64 credit post-master’s program, or a full time, four-year, 79 credit post-baccalaureate program. The PhD program provides a learning matrix of course work, collegial relationships, community networks, mentored research, and collaboration in scholarship.
The College of Nursing offers two Graduate Certificate nurse practitioner specialties: Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult Acute Care Nurse Practitioner are available to post-master's students. Each specialty is a 4-semester, part-time opportunity for the working RN. Web delivery of course content is supplemented with campus experiences for learning and demonstrating health assessment skills.
