- Most students graduate within two to three years of starting this program

"At JU, I had a group of instructors who were familiar with my specialty and offered support and clinical studies in my field of study. I secured a job 4 months before graduation based on the clinical rotations and expertise that was offered to me. This allowed me the perfect venue to pursue my capstone study for my DNP."
