The DNP Executive/MPH dual degree offered through the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health integrates nursing and population health frameworks to prepare nurse leaders to improve population health and advance health equity. Graduates will be prepared to employ systems-level thinking to address local and global health challenges by shaping policy, interventions, and quality improvements to create lasting change. 

The 80-credit dual degree program is offered in a convenient executive-style format, integrating online and virtual learning experiences with on-site immersions. This dual degree option can be completed in three years.

The DNP Executive/MPH is designed for nurses involved in an advanced nursing practice role including but not limited to:

• clinical nurse specialist 
• nurse practitioner 
• nurse midwife
• nurse anesthetist
• public health practitioner 
• nurse executive 
• nurse informatician
• health policy analyst 

Clinical hours obtained as part of the master’s degree can be applied to the DNP program. The student obtains 448 practice hours in association with conduct of the DNP Project in addition to 552 practice hours obtained from the previous advanced nursing practice program, to meet a minimum of 1000 hours.  Students are expected to complete DNP Executive/MPH degree requirements within six years of enrollment.

The development of the nursing curriculum is based on AACN DNP Essentials, AONE Competencies, ANA Scope and Standards of Practice for Nurse Administrators.
