As defined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2026), it is a scholarly work that aims to improve clinical practice. Guided and evaluated by an academic committee, the DNP project is derived from the student’s practice immersion experience and serves as a foundation for future scholarly practice. \n•\tThe DNP Project is related to advanced nursing practice and benefits a group, population, or community rather than an individual patient. It addresses identified needs and builds on an evidence base. The theme that links these forms of scholarly experiences is the use of evidence to improve either practice or patient outcomes.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>73</strong></h3></div><h1>Application Requirements</h1><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.
