CHN POST-BSN DNP CURRICULUM

If you would like to know when these and other School of Nursing
courses are being offered use the UWTime Schedule. (Select the quarter you are interested in, then select Nursing.)

Please Note:

1. Approval of the proposal for capstone project and final examination, the requirements of the doctoral education by the SON and the University, are NOT included in the example. You should consult SON website and work with your supervisory committee to determine the timing of the proposal writing/approval and final examination to avoid delay your progression.

2. The example only includes required course credits by our specialty. Consult your supervisory committee for additional electives that you may need in the summer and in Year 3 to meet AACN Essentials requirement (12 quarters or 36 months in length of full-time study).
