Ball State University School of Nursing is excited to announce that our Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program has been approved by the Indiana Commission of Higher Education as of June 13, 2008. We are planning to start the program with a first group of students in Fall Semester 2009. Candidates for this first class will be Nurse Practitioners and Clinical Nurse Specialists who currently hold a Master's Degree in Nursing. Detailed information about the DNP Program and the admission application process will be provided on our web page in the near future.  You may also contact Dr. Beth Kelsey at 765-285-5761 or bkelsey@bsu.edu for information.
