PLAN OF STUDY

Villanova's Doctor of Nursing Practice is designed to meet the needs of the working professional, and offers three tracks: full-time, part-time and flex.

Online synchronous classes are offered Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm ET depending on the plan of study.

The DNP track begins early summer with an on-campus residency. Students meet on-campus  for 1 day in fall and spring, and 1-3 days in summer depending on the student's plan of study. Whether you are on campus or at home, the College provides you with a personalized experience – one of the hallmarks of a Villanova Nursing education.
