The DNP Advanced Practice Track/PhD creates rigorously prepared clinical DNP Advanced Practice Track/PhD scholars that offers the profession a ‘best of both worlds’ approach, creating innovative solutions for faculty practice, research, discovery, and translation. By combining the PhD goal of creating leaders in nursing science development with the DNP Advanced Practice Track’s mission to prepare expert nurse clinicians into an integrated curriculum, students receive both outstanding research and clinical practice experience.

The DNP Advanced Practice Track/PhD program is designed to be completed in a 5 year full-time plan of study. This shorter timeframe to achieve two doctoral degrees is accomplished by designing the program to align each educational component with the students desired research focus, creating connections that allow the DNP Advanced Practice Track/PhD student to seamlessly transfer evidence to practice, practice to research, and research to the classroom. The program also highlights both a structured teaching residency and a structured research residency.

Students can complete this program with the following DNP Advanced Practice Tracks:

• DNP Adult-Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (129 credits/784 clinical hours)
• DNP Adult-Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (127 credits/784 clinical hours)
