You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at the Stony Brook University School of Nursing will prepare diverse clinical leaders who can influence healthcare outcomes, critically appraise evidence, and facilitate the transition of best evidence to best practices. The program, offered through distance education with on-site requirements, is designed for registered nurses who hold a baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing.
Graduates will ensure accountability for quality healthcare, utilize information technology to support and improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems, and set, influence, and implement health policies that secure improvements in global population health. Interprofessional teams with collaborative leadership will enable the DNP graduate to analyze complex practice and organizational issues to improve healthcare delivery models.
