Â鶹¹û¶³ College of New Jersey offers a mainly online, post-master\u2019s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) designed for nurses seeking a terminal degree in nursing practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Â鶹¹û¶³\u2019s 36-credit practice-based program offers an alternative to research-focused doctoral programs, placing greater emphasis on practice and less emphasis on theory, research methodology and statistics. DNP-prepared nurses are well equipped to fully implement the science developed by nurse researchers prepared in PhD, DNSc and other research-focused nursing doctorates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DNP curriculum builds on traditional master\u2019s programs by providing education in evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and systems leadership, among other key areas. Courses are online with a small number of in-person sessions per course.<\/span><\/p>\n
