What NP specialization are you most interested in?*

Nursing requires both expertise and humanity

The current demand for advance practice nurses is unprecedented, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting employment for nurse practitioners to grow 45% from 2019 to 2029. Staying true to island culture and kuleana, meaning responsibility and concern for all people, Hawai‘i Pacific University has designed a 100% online BSN to DNP program to help passionate registered nurses earn a terminal degree and prepare for advance practice nursing in as few as 34-44 months*.

*Full-time students take 34 months and part-time students take 44 months to complete the program.

Note: Upon completion of our BSN to DNP program, the DNP degree will be awarded. This program does not lead to the MSN degree.
