Immersion Experiences
DNP students are asked to attend an immersion event each August. This event generally occurs during the first two-to-three days of the fall semester.
School of Nursing Retention Policy
Scholarship appropriate for students in a School of Nursing graduate program is demonstrated through satisfactory completion of course work, defined as obtaining a course grade of A or B. Students who obtain a course grade of D or F in a graduate nursing specialization are withdrawn from the graduate program without the option of repeating the course. Students may only earn one course grade of C and stay enrolled in graduate nursing programs. If a second course grade of C is earned, students are automatically removed from the graduate nursing program, regardless of the cumulative GPA. Repeating a course in which there is originally a grade of C does not eliminate the original course grade of C from being applied towards this exclusion policy.
