About the Program
Graduate nursing education strongly reflects the values and goals of Nursing and the broad mission of Temple University. The D.N.P. program prepares graduates to provide primary care for individuals, families, and communities grounded in evidence-based practice and research. Embedded in the program is the social context of health systems, health policy, and health economics and their impact on the individual, family, and community. Students are prepared to provide direct primary care to individuals across diverse settings and indirect administration of systems of care, as well as to participate in the development and implementation of health policy. The D.N.P. program expands students' scope of practice while maintaining a clinical primary care focus. Through integration of the educator, clinician, and research roles, faculty work with D.N.P. students to cultivate the value of evidence-based clinical practice and its potential impact on individuals, groups, and communities.

Admission Requirements and Deadlines
Application Deadline:
Fall: March 1
All applicants to the D.N.P. in Nursing program must apply via the Centralized Application Service for Nursing Programs (NursingCAS). The system can be accessed at https://www.nursingcas.org/.
Letters of Reference:
Number Required: 2
From Whom: Letters of recommendation should assess the applicant’s ability to work independently, academic and scholarly performance, analytical thinking and aptitude for advanced study, commitment to urban health, communication skills, and professional contributions. Authors should indicate how long they have known the applicant and in what capacity.
Coursework Required for Admission Consideration: Two admission options are offered for the D.N.P. program:
- Direct entry from the B.S.N. – Post-baccalaureate applicants choose between two concentrations: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care and Family-Individual Across the Lifespan. Candidates who apply for post-B.S.N. entry must have earned a baccalaureate degree in Nursing. All transcripts of applicants will be reviewed by the graduate faculty. Offers of acceptance will be made based on their recommendations. The program reserves the right to request that an applicant take the GRE exam based on a review of the transcript.
- Post-Master's – Applicants to the post-master's D.N.P. program must have an earned master's in Nursing and are required to complete a total of 1,000 clinical practicum hours. Students admitted beginning Fall 2018 may apply up to 500 hours earned during their master’s program toward the 1,000-hours requirement. Hours required for national certification may also be applied. Evaluation and verification of hours is required prior to formal admission to the program.
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: All applicants must present credentials that are the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree at Temple University. Official transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate institutions attended must be submitted.
A WES evaluation is required for applicants who completed their bachelor's degree outside of the United States. This can be requested at https://www.wes.org/ and submitted through NursingCAS.
Statement of Goals: In a 500- to 1,000-word statement of purpose, describe your background, academic and professional goals, and how your interests relate to the D.N.P. program at Temple.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE/MAT: GRE scores are not required for admissions consideration for Fall 2021. However, applicants who believe GRE scores would complement their application are encouraged to submit scores directly to NursingCAS using code 4033. If submitted, scores are expected to be at or above the 50th percentile. Otherwise, GRE scores are optional.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master’s degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
- TOEFL iBT: 79 (send officially to NursingCAS using the NursingCAS-specific TOEFL code B506)
- IELTS Academic: 6.5
- PTE Academic: 53
- Duolingo: 110
Clearances: The Nursing D.N.P. program requires students to complete clinical/field education experiences at facilities both on and off Temple University’s campuses. These placements require criminal background checks, including Pennsylvania state criminal background check for employment, Pennsylvania state child abuse clearance, FBI fingerprinting clearance, and drug screen. The results of these requirements may limit and potentially eliminate placement options for the student, thus resulting in her/his inability to meet admission/graduation requirements. Additionally, conviction of a misdemeanor, felony, or felonious or illegal act may prevent the individual from becoming credentialed and/or obtaining Advanced Practice Nursing approval. Students also need a physical examination, proof of required immunizations, annual influenza vaccines, vaccination, Quantiferon testing, CPR certification, and personal health insurance. Students who do not comply with the required health and immunization requirements will not be permitted to attend clinical and may be dismissed from the Nursing program.
Interview: An interview conducted by the Nursing Graduate Faculty may be scheduled only when all required materials have been submitted by the applicant.
Resume: Current professional resume required.
Transfer Credit: Up to 6 graduate credits from an accredited institution may be transferred into the D.N.P. program. A transferred course must be equivalent to coursework offered at Temple, and the grade must be a "B" or better to transfer. The decision is made by the Director of Graduate Programs in conjunction with the appropriate faculty member. Students must provide the syllabus for the course being considered for transfer credits.
Other: Copies of the applicant's current nursing licenses must be provided with the application.
