III. Advising

The Directors, or a doctorally prepared faculty member certified/prepared in the student’s specialty/focus area, are assigned as the initial advisor to the BSN to DNP students. Post Masters students are assigned to a DNP faculty member to support students’ synthesis of the post master’s curriculum. The role of the faculty advisor is to mentor and provide career guidance to students. Advisors support the student as they synthesize the critical elements of a program of study toward a successful conclusion. Additional student support is provided by Student Services related to course enrollment, understanding important deadlines, and complying with CON requirements such as licensure, HIPPA, or criminal background check.
