Doctor of Nursing Practice (Post-Baccalaureate)

Develop your skills and enhance your education with a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree from UW-Eau Claire.

Continue Your Nursing Education

A doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degree is designed for students and professionals interested in pursuing education in advanced practice nursing. To help narrow your studies and professional focus, you will choose a degree role of primary care nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS program is currently on hold), or nurse administrator/nurse executive, along with a population focus of either adult-gerontologic or family nursing.

As the knowledge necessary for a nursing career rapidly expands and patient care becomes increasingly more complex, the need for DNP graduates continues to grow. Throughout our rigorous and in-depth curriculum, you'll learn how to identify information-processing challenges and evaluate informatics solutions, helping to improve workflows, and eliminate everyday obstacles. Coursework will also teach how to advocate for social justice and ethical health policies, giving a voice to those who need it.

Upon graduation, you'll have mastered strategies used in needs assessment and have learned how to successfully implement effective health care interventions, programs, and policies. This enhanced knowledge will equip you with new skills, additional tools, and more connections, making you well-prepared to advance your career.

Blugold Stories

Without the endless support from UWEC nursing staff, I would have never made it this far. Because of their kindness, they have brought hope back into my life. I’m forever grateful, and UWEC will always hold a special place in my heart.

The UWEC nursing program deepened my passion for nursing more than I ever thought possible. It prepared me to approach my current practice as a registered nurse holistically with a focus on the patient above all else. This program inspired me to consistently strive to be the best I can be. I have such trust and loyalty in the UWEC College of Nursing and Health Sciences, that I chose to continue my education here in the Doctorate of Nursing Practice Program.
