Application Requirements
Essay Prompt:
Please upload a purpose and goals statement, including a narrative of your professional experience, career goals and match to the goals of DNP education. In this statement, applicants should address the following:
What advanced practice specialty are you selecting and why? Please include rationale for selecting the specialty and how becoming advanced practice certified in the chosen specialty will assist you in achieving your professional and educational goals.
What specifically are your academic and career goals for which the DNP program will prepare you best?
How have your life experiences prepared you for being a doctoral-prepared nurse?
Why are you seeking education in the DNP program at this time in your career?
The statement should address each of the above questions and will act as a demonstration of your writing skills to the program faculty. The response is not to exceed three single-spaced pages. Consideration will be given to both the quality of your writing and the congruence between the stated goals and those of the program. You may submit this document at the time of application or after by way of the Admissions Uploader.

During the application you will be asked to provide the names and email addresses of three (3) recommenders. Once the application is submitted, an email will be automatically generated and sent to your recommenders with a link and further instruction on how to submit their letters of recommendation. We encourage you to submit your application far in advance of the deadline so that your recommenders have ample time to upload their letters.
Letters of recommendation should be submitted from individuals who are familiar with your academic ability, professional experience and potential to succeed in the highest level of nursing practice. We suggest providing your recommenders with information on the degree and specialty to which you are applying and with a copy of your purpose and goals statement. Ask that they address your potential for success in a rigorous graduate program and what attributes and experiences they feel will allow you to excel as an advanced practice nurse in your chosen specialty. Finally, make them aware of the submission process and the application deadline by which they must submit their letters.
