Doctor of Nursing Practice — The terminal practice doctorate for nursing professionals. Focuses on translating research into practice, quality improvement, healthcare policy, population health, organizational leadership, and the DNP capstone project. Competency-based assessments at the doctoral level require scholarly rigor and APA formatting.
The Capella DNP FlexPath program is the terminal practice doctorate for nursing professionals who want to lead transformative change in healthcare. This extensive program spans 65 courses across three levels, from advanced practice foundations through doctoral capstone completion.
