Want to learn more about the DNP or Ph.D. in Nursing* program at the University of Akron? Join us at our upcoming Open House!
The DNP program prepares doctoral-level nursing leaders who will advance and transform nursing through evidence-based practice, leading to improved patient outcomes. The 2-2-2 DNP program is a hybrid model where you take 2 courses per semester for 2 weekends per semester (Saturday & Sunday) and work online to accomplish your course work. This model allows you to complete your DNP in 2 years of full time study!
The Ph.D. program prepares nurse scientists and scholars who will develop nursing knowledge, influence health care policy, and advance the state of the science of nursing practice. The Ph.D. program uses a delivery model that includes traditional and intensive delivery of courses. Full time students complete course work in two years, before progressing to dissertation work.
We look forward to meeting you and telling you about both doctoral programs at our upcoming DNP/Ph.D. Open House. Full and part-time study is available in both programs.
April 20, 4-6 p.m. in Mary Gladwin Hall's Graduate Lounge, Room 203
