Overview: Our Doctor of Nursing Practice program ranked #21 in the nation's top nursing programs per U.S. News & World Report 2017
When you apply to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at the University of Colorado Anschutz, you are enrolling in a high-quality program that's routinely ranked among the best DNP programs in the nation by US News & World Report. We also earned the #4 Best Online Graduate Nursing program in the nation in 2018.
Our DNP program is designed for nurses who want to move into advanced practice, public health and leadership. With your DNP, you'll help improve healthcare within diverse patient populations and systems across the globe. This practice-based doctorate provides courses that focus on evidence-based practice to improve clinical care delivery, program evaluation, patient and population incomes, and health system leadership management. We offer distinct areas of study and the ability to earn a master's degree on your way to your DNP.
Three days every academic year will be spent on campus in person, while all of your other classes are online. There are no more than three intensives on campus per academic year. The hands-on clinical experiences are an integral part of our college mission and provide students with a blend of comprehensive education with on-the-job training. A DNP can open up new doors and give you access to more opportunities, responsibility and higher pay.
Pathways to Your DNP:
There are two paths registered nurses (RNs) can take to earn their DNP:
- BS to DNP - If you have a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, you can earn your DNP through the College of Nursing with our BSN to DNP degree, which takes you directly from your BS-level work to graduating with a doctorate. An along the way, you will earn a Master of Science degree, too.
- MS to DNP - This program is designed for RNs who hold a Master of Science in Nursing. This program generally takes one to two years of full-time study, or two to three years of part-time study to complete.
For a full list of DNP admissions requirements, please visit: https://nursing.cuanschutz.edu/academics/graduate-programs/masters-dnp-phd/doctor-of-nursing-practice-admissions.
DNP applications are submitted through Nursing’s Centralized Application Service (NursingCAS).
From public health nursing to health leadership and veteran and military health care leadership, our DNP offers distinct areas of study.
- DNP Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) program prepares advanced practice nurses to improve healthcare within diverse patient populations and systems across the globe. Curriculum is based on the DNP Essentials (AACN, 2006) and includes coursework to elevate APRNs to a new stage of leadership, advocacy, and clinical scholarship within their chosen specialty.
- DNP Health Leadership. Learn to be a leader in the healthcare system. This high-demand program prepares you to lead systems in hospitals to the government to nonprofits. You'll manage others across a continuum of primary care, acute care, long-term care, school nursing, correctional facilities, home care and care coordination. The focus of this post-graduate program is efficient, high-quality care with the best outcomes.
- DNP/MPH. Join the ranks of public health nurse leaders. Get the combined power of nursing and public health in a dual-degree program. A Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is offered from the University of Colorado College of Nursing - and a Master of Public Health (MPH) is offered from the Colorado School of Public Health. This degree prepares nurse leaders to address the most pressing public health challenges of our time like COVID-19 and prepares them for national and global health leadership roles. A bonus of earning the degrees simultaneously, is this degree requires 21 fewer credits than earning the degrees separately. Students work hand-in-hand with experts to create and lead new models of care delivery that advance health equity and improve population health. Students can tailor studies to their interests. the dual degree is ideal for students with a BS in Nursing and nurses with a master's in a nursing specialty other than public/community health nursing. Nurses who hold a Master of Public/Community Health Nursing may apply to either the dual degree or the DNP-PHN degree programs.
- DNP-PHN Expand your reach and streamline your focus in healthcare with our Doctor of Nursing Practice Public Health Nursing (DNP-PHN) program. This specialty prepares nurses for leadership roles in public and community health settings. You'll learn how to assess, plan and evaluate nursing interventions for patients, families and clinical populations. The focus will be on promoting health, disease prevention and program management. There are several pathways to attain this degree: if you have a master's in Public Health Nursing or community health nursing; and if you are an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in a clinical specialty other than Public/Community Health.

DNP Veteran and Military Health Care Leadership. Serve the men and women who have fought for our country by providing excellent healthcare delivery through our DNP Veteran and Military Health Care Leadership program. This program provides students with specialized education and training to work with veterans and their military families. The courses prepare nurse leaders to be care coordinators, change agents and innovators in healthcare for former and current service members. The online program is designed for working nurses who are currently novice-to-expert leaders and are affiliated with the military community.
*As a part of the DNP Capstone series of courses, all DNP-PHN and DNP/MPH students are required to complete practicum credit hours in public/community health settings. Practicum experiences for out-of-state students must be negotiated among course instructors, students, and their program advisors to best fit the student's learning needs and professional goals. For Colorado students, the majority of practice sites are in local and state community-based agencies, including public health departments. Many of the sites serve the most vulnerable populations in Colorado and Region VIII. As established by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2006), a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised academic post-baccalaureate practice is required to achieve learning objectives associated with the DNP Essentials and specialty competencies. CU College of Nursing DNP curricula, including the DNP-PHN and DNP/MPH, are based on the expectation that the first 500 hours are accomplished in master’s level nursing education. Baccalaureate-prepared nurses and other applicants who cannot document 500 post-baccalaureate academically-supervised clinical practicum hours will be required to supplement their DNP program by enrolling in additional (1-12) credit hours of advanced public health nursing practicum to complete the balance of the full 1,000 practicum hours.
