NUR 7920 DNP Doctoral Project
Credit HoursRecitation/Lecture HoursStudio HoursClinical HoursLab Hours


The DNP program culminates in the successful completion of a scholarly project that demonstrates synthesis of the student's work and lays the groundwork for future scholarship. The DNP doctoral project is a tangible and deliverable academic product that is derived from practice and is reviewed and evaluated by an academic committee. In this project students will engage in scholarly inquiry to analyze, evaluate, or transform a relevant aspect of clinical practice. This substantive project should make a significant, evidenced based contribution to existing nursing knowledge. The doctoral project may take on many forms but will be unique to the student's area of specialization and designed by the student in collaboration with their faculty advisor and clinical mentor. Examples of doctoral projects include: a program needs assessment with program development and evaluation, evaluation of an existing program, development of an assessment instrument/protocol, a cost/benefit analysis of program models, construction of a practice model or an innovation for practice, database creation to track direct care assessment or outcome, implementation of an evidence based guideline for clinical practice, or other scholarly project as approved.
