ONLINE POST-MASTER’S DOCTOR OF NURSING PRACTICE (D.N.P.)
The online Post-Master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) program prepares nurses to be systems-level leaders in complex health care environments regardless of the position they hold, integrating nursing science with organizational leadership and ethics.
The Post-Master’s D.N.P.-prepared nurse utilizes research evidence to design, implement, manage and evaluate systems of care.
This practice-based program is intended for nurses who hold a master’s degree and have experience in an advanced nursing role. Consisting of 30 credit hours, the Post-Master’s D.N.P. program is offered in a part-time program of study (5 semesters in length).
Highlights of the Post-Master’s D.N.P. program include:
- High-quality learner experiences rooted in faculty collaboration and leadership practice;
- Research and practice expertise across multiple academic departments; and
- Innovative Post-Master’s D.N.P. Scholarly Project.
The Post-Master’s D.N.P. Scholarly Project allows the nurse leader to translate evidence from original research and accelerate the adoption of best clinical practices. The project is a summative demonstration of an interactive learning process, and the curriculum informs the depth, development, and evaluation of outcomes from the project implementation.
Courses are taught by faculty from multiple disciplines with expertise in a variety of fields. As with all programs at Georgetown, principles of ethical leadership and social justice permeate the program.
