Doctoral Nursing Program

OVERVIEW

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is a uniquely practice-focused program, compared to the Ph.D. in nursing, which is research-oriented. Grand Canyon University’s DNP degree is ideal for nurse leaders, public health nurses, nurse informaticists, and advanced practice registered nurses who wish to remain at the forefront of patient care. This degree, offered by the College of Nursing and Health Care Professions, guides nurses in applying current research to improve healthcare systems and enhance patient outcomes.

Our program prepares you to work collaboratively as an interprofessional partner with any doctoral-level peer to participate in and/or translate research that can improve the healthcare system and population health outcomes. The program empowers you as a nurse leader to properly utilize and communicate industry terms used in research and evidence-based practice quality improvement processes in the nursing and healthcare industry.

Examine and expand upon the theoretical and scientific foundations of healthcare through engaging in peer discussions and scholarly activities led by instructors who are experts in their fields. Work through practice immersion activities designed to propel you to the highest level of nursing practice. Continue to meet your current professional obligations while progressing through a rigorous curriculum, culminating in an evidence-based research Direct Practice Improvement Project.
