Ohio University's Doctor of Nursing Practice program is for students who already hold a BSN or MSN degree and want to advance their careers. Our online programs allow students to customize their education with specializations in either direct patient care as an advanced practiced nurse, or indirect patient care as a nurse executive and nurse educator. And, with opportunities for field experience, graduates emerge ready to pursue practitioner, leadership, and educational roles.
In both the BSN-DNP and MSN-DNP programs, students have the opportunity to customize their experience with one of two specializations: direct patient care as a nurse practitioner, or indirect patient care as a nurse executive or nurse educator.
This program offers flexibility and hands-on learning for nurses who want a direct path to advanced practice or leadership opportunities.
Complete your journey to advanced practice or nursing administration opportunities with flexible online coursework and enlightening practicum hours.
