Wilmington University’s CCNE accredited DNP program delivers an innovative curriculum emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration among students, faculty, hospitals, community leaders, and policy makers. Students learn to utilize both theory and clinical evidence to promote the highest quality of care at an advanced level of professional nursing practice.

The DNP program offers individualized attention to students within a cohort of scholars. We feature one of the most affordable DNP tuitions in the United States and offer several DNP concentrations to fit the needs of both Advanced Practice Registered Nurses and Nurse Leaders.

Online cohorts begin every January, May, and September with hybrid cohorts beginning every January and September. Online students benefit from optional synchronous sessions during each course and hybrid students benefit from one to two weekend intensives on-site per semester.
