Overview

You can start the program as a registered nurse with or without a BSN degree. Once you have completed the Master of Science in Nursing portion of the program, you can become a licensed and board-certified nurse practitioner and clinically practice while completing the DNP with as little as 15 additional credits.

The UM-Flint School of Nursing offers a unique learning experience and pathway for BSN-prepared nurses who desire to become nurse practitioners. With one application, students can apply to the University of Michigan Flint’s Online BSN to DNP with MSN program and be eligible for both MSN and DNP degrees. The program allows a student to obtain an MSN degree as a nurse practitioner in one of five specialty concentrations, sit for the corresponding board certification exam, and practice as a nurse practitioner. The student can then continue toward completion of the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree.
