Policies for Admission and Progression

The student will choose which institution(s) to apply to as their parent institution. The graduate studies office of that institution will screen the applications for items such as the academic transcript(s) and GPA to ensure that the minimum standards for doctoral admission are evident and that applications are complete. The applications will then be sent from the DNP Consortium parent institution to the PMC for review.

Each candidate for admission to the DNP Consortium program will indicate the campus or campuses that he/she is applying to and willing to attend. The PMC will review applications according to Consortium admission criteria. Applicants will be considered for each of the campuses that they have indicated. Students will be accepted based on the admission criteria and the student preference(s) for parent campus. Recommendations for admission or denial will be forwarded from the PMC to the graduate studies office at the student’s parent institution. The graduate studies office at the student’s parent institution will officially accept or deny the application and will notify the applicant.
