^*A total of 1,000 clinical hours are required for the DNP degree. Post-MSN DNP/HSL students are not required to complete clinical hours associated with the HSL specialization courses (NURS 751, NUS 753). However, a gap analysis will be conducted for each Post-MSN DNP/HSL student, and a student may need to complete additional clinical hours in the HSL specialization courses (150-167 hours and 3cr each) to total 1,000 hours.

The program of study that appears here applies to students who were admitted for the summer session of this catalog year and later.  Students admitted prior to that term should select the appropriate catalog year of their admission.  Choose previous catalogs from the Home, Graduate, or Undergraduate Catalog Page at http://Catalog.widener.edu.
