A Community of Learning
The Doctor of Nursing Science program provides a foundation for scholarly dialogue between academic and practice leaders. These leaders then collaborate in shaping nursing practice, curricula, policy, and patient outcomes.
The program is cohort-based; each fall, a cohort of expert nurses (who already have master's degrees) will be admitted and advance through the required courses as a group. This approach to learning supports the development of a community of learning and practice that will enhance the educational experience of the DNS student.
