What is the on-campus intensive session?
DNP students have an intensive experience on-campus in Nashville for approximately one week each semester to facilitate mentoring by faculty and interaction with Vanderbilt nursing science PhD students as part of a community of scholars. Attendance at the one-week sessions is expected. Full time students will make a total of 4 visits to campus; part time students will visit 6 times. Other coursework, scholarly interaction and clinical application can take place in students’ home locations so that they do not have to relocate or give up employment. We use a variety of state-of-the-art online and distance learning technologies and techniques to facilitate the program and enrich every student’s learning experience. The majority of coursework will be asynchronous. Synchronous activity will be scheduled by the instructor in advance.
