In order to graduate from the DNP program, students need to complete 1,000 post-baccalaureate practicum hours (that take place as part of an educational program). If you have a Master of Science in Nursing Degree (MSN), any practicum/clinical time completed in an MSN program counts toward the required 1,000 post-baccalaureate practicum hours. The MSN practicum hours must be verifiable and provided to faculty prior to the start of the DNP practicum.
