Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
Invest in yourself and your nursing career with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from Jacksonville State University. Designed for nurses who aspire to lead and drive meaningful change in healthcare, Jax State Graduate Nursing offers three pathways to earn a DNP: two BSN-to-DNP options, Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP), as well as a Post-Master’s DNP option.
The DNP program prepares graduates to excel in advanced clinical practice, leadership, healthcare technology and informatics, quality improvement, and evidence-based decision-making. Through a curriculum focused on improving patient outcomes and transforming healthcare delivery, students gain the knowledge and skills needed to address complex healthcare challenges and make a lasting impact in their communities.
As the highest practice-focused degree in nursing, the Doctor of Nursing Practice equips Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to lead, innovate, and practice at the highest level of the profession.
