BSN to DNP Specializations

In the first half of the program, you will complete DNP core courses and specialty coursework. Specialties noted as on-campus will require you to participate in on-campus specialty coursework. Distance learning specialties will include all online specialty coursework. Some specialties will require intermittent, pre-scheduled on-campus visits. All distance learning specialty tracks will have clinicals completed in your area, except for Nurse Anesthesia for which all clinical sites are in Ohio.

All DNP coursework will be completed entirely online. It is important to note that online classes will have a synchronous component that requires you to attend class online at a specific day and time. Class times are listed in Eastern Standard Time.

Please see below for more information on the available specialties. One specialty must be selected at the time of application:
