Program Description

Sacred Heart University's Doctor of Nursing Practice program combines doctoral education focused on practice with innovation and practical clinical research and scholarship. It is designed to serve academically talented nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, midwives, nurse anesthetists, nurse executives, and educators. The curriculum offers two career tracks. The clinical practice in health care track for the advanced practice nurse who wants to remain in clinical practice and have influence on health care outcomes at multiple levels. The leadership in health care track for the graduate who wants a career in executive nursing management with a connection to clinical practice. This unique hybrid/intensive program is specifically designed to maximize the number of potential career roles the doctoral nursing graduate may assume, whether in academic life, advanced clinical practice, or executive healthcare leadership. Classes are taught online, and students are required to attend two on-campus residencies per semester.
