HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s online doctor of nursing practice
program has earned recognition as one of the top 50 programs in the nation by Healthcare-Management-Degree.net.
Southeastern was recognized for its online DNP for post-masters applicants and BSN-DNP
applicants and was the only university in Louisiana to make the list, ranking higher
than schools such as Baylor University, Duke University, and Florida State University.
Southeastern earned its ranking based on student to faculty ratio, average graduate
tuition rate, and specialization area of family nurse practitioner. The university
was also recognized for the flexibility afforded to students to complete coursework
while maintaining current employment.
“We are thrilled our DNP nurse faculty have been recognized for their excellence
in graduating advanced nurse practitioners and nurse leaders who provide high-quality
population based care to people with chronic illnesses, improve access to care in
underserved areas, and reduce costs of care,” said Dean of the College of Nursing
and Health Sciences Ann Carruth. “We are so proud of our School of Nursing in the
work they do to meet the healthcare needs of this community and beyond.”
Southeastern’s online doctor of nursing practice program offers coursework in
ethics and healthcare policy, organizational and systems leadership, health assessment,
and advanced pathophysiology.
