APCHSN 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. General examination and final examination, two university requirements of the doctoral education, are NOT included in the example. You should consult SON website and work with your supervisory committee to determine the timing of the examinations 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).
