Nursing
The School of Nursing offers a doctor of nursing practice (D.N.P.) program. The D.N.P. program has two study options: the post-baccalaureate B.S.N.-D.N.P.- family nurse practitioner (F.N.P.) program of study and the post-master’s N.P.-D.N.P. program of study. Students who enter the D.N.P. program with a bachelor's degree in nursing or who have a master's degree in nursing, but are not nurse practitioners are admitted to the B.S.N.-D.N.P.- F.N.P. program of study to become family nurse practitioners and earn the D.N.P. degree. Students who enter the D.N.P. program as master's-prepared nurse practitioners retain their nurse practitioner specialty and earn the D.N.P. degree. The School of Nursing D.N.P. program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and is approved by the Oregon State Board of Nursing.
