DNP Project
The program requires a scholarly evidence-based quality project. The subject area is determined by the student in consultation with the DNP Project Chair and Committee and must meet the academic standards of the College. All research is subject to the review and supervision of the American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences Institutional Review Board. A unique feature of the DNP Project is that it is completed alongside other courses while working with the assigned DNP Project Chair. This does not require additional courses or credits for the program.
Learn more about the DNP Project on the additional nursing requirements page.
Curriculum
DNP students take one course at a time unless authorized by the Dean of the program.
