The Board of Governors approved the School of Nursing’s Doctor of Nursing Practice Program (DNP) with Western Carolina University, starting fall 2013.  Offered in a hybrid format, this program will be taught on both campuses, which will allow students the benefit of working with a variety of nursing faculty and experiencing both urban and rural health care perspectives.  Graduates of the program will engage in collaborative interdisciplinary efforts to improve health outcomes at the practice/organization, community, state and national levels.
