Transform primary care through compassion
for people 13 years and older
Through its Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program, Seattle University attracts nurse practitioner candidates from a variety of backgrounds:
-
Current registered nurses with BSN or master's degrees, who enter the 3-year DNP program directly
-
Non-nurses with a bachelor’s degree in another field (related to health or not), who complete an accelerated RN pre-licensure program before starting the 3-year DNP program
Alternate Entry. Our Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion (APNI) program opens doors for non-nurses. Not all DNP degree programs allow for “alternate entry.”
Comprehensive Primary Care. You’ll study advanced practice nursing mindsets and methodology by focusing on the whole person, not simply the disease process.
Clinical / Outpatient Focus. Through clinically focused courses, with high academic standards, you’ll learn what it takes to become an admired and respected independent nurse practitioner with full scope of practice for primary care in outpatient settings.
Whether you’re already working in the nursing profession or want to, let’s connect. Complete this form to learn more.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs at Seattle University College of Nursing are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Comprehensive primary care is the foundation of better patient outcomes. Yet, many communities face a shortage of primary care providers. You can empower patients through reliable, compassionate and equitable access to health care.

EMPOWER THROUGH LEADERSHIP
Primary care providers bring much-needed leadership and access to many communities. Accessible primary care is a social justice issue. When disparities get addressed, fewer people end up in the ER desperate for help with conditions left untreated for too long. As an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, you can empower patients.
PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE CARE
To meet the need for more primary care practitioners, many states allow nurse practitioners to have full scope of practice. This means nurse practitioners can evaluate, diagnose and provide care for patients, including ordering diagnostic tests and evaluating the results as well as the authority to prescribe medications.
