What is a DNP Project?

A key outcome of the DNP program at Seattle University College of Nursing is completion of a DNP project. The DNP project should provide evidence of the student’s critical thinking and ability to translate research into practice through problem identification, proposal development, implementation, and evaluation. The project also incorporates a systematic review and analysis of the literature on a topic of relevance to advanced nursing practice and vulnerable populations. The DNP project requires supervision by a faculty committee and involves in-depth exploration of a topic with the expectation that the quality of the student work is at a level suitable for submission for publication in the scientific literature. More information about the DNP Project can be found in the CON Graduate Student Handbook
