Overview
Dr. Colleen Donegan, Associate Dean of Graduate Affairs
Dr. Tara Sacco, Graduate Nursing Program Chair
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is a rigorous advanced-practice clinical doctorate that reflects the evolution and development of professional nursing. The Doctor of Nursing Practice program includes a post baccalaureate or a post-master's entry point option and provides part-time options for study. Students seeking post-master's admission to the DNP program, who hold a master’s degree in nursing, must have advanced practice specialization as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, certified registered nurse anesthetist, or certified nurse midwife. Students seeking post-baccalaureate admission will be prepared as either a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist as part of their program.
The Wegmans School of Nursing DNP program is registered by the New York State Education Department and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
