We deliver our courses in a hybrid format so you can complete your classwork online when it’s convenient for you, with the added benefit of annual on-campus sessions that give you access to student-centered resources at one of the highest-ranked schools of nursing in Tennessee.
Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Track
Graduates are equipped to practice nursing at the highest level, with innovative approaches to quality care including telehealth and disaster relief, and to lead evidence-based change within complex healthcare systems.
Transformational Executive Nursing Leadership (TENL) Track
Graduates develop expertise in leading data-driven organizational decisions and strategic change to improve patient and population outcomes. Includes an option to complete the MBA in conjunction with the DNP in as few as 8 semesters of full-time study.
Resources for Student Success
Our DNP faculty have diverse clinical backgrounds and scholarly interests to enrich your learning experience. We facilitate student placements in FNP practicum and TENL leadership experiences in a variety of healthcare settings.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the DNP program. Having professors that truly care about me as a person, my education, and my future goals, receiving a quality education, and the incorporation of a Christian worldview of nursing throughout the program are what make Lee’s DNP.
My decision to return to Lee in pursuit of my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree came easily as I continue to see the type of extraordinary nurses that they produce. Their intentional focus on treating the entire patient (physically, psychologically, spiritually) will produce excellent nurse practitioners, and I knew I needed to be one of them.
Lee's DNP program has exceeded my expectations. The coursework is challenging but engaging. The professors push you to think critically and care deeply about your success. Even being online, there is a sense of family that comes from your classmates and professors.
