What are Practice Experience hours?

Practice experiences are built into the courses and do not add

additional work. Instead, they offer more interactive learning

assignments. There are three types of practice experience hours

you will complete in the DNP program:

PRACTICE LEARNING EXPERIENCES (PLE): Course

assignments that allow you to use what you learned in the online

classroom out in the real world. Five of your DNP courses have PLE

hour requirements

PRECEPTED PRACTICE EXPERIENCES (PPE): Course

assignments that take place in the workplace or other healthcare

settings. Five of your courses have PPE requirements.

CAPSTONE HOURS (CH): Practice experience hours in the DNP

program that are earned during scholarly work on your capstone

project. Two of your courses have Capstone Hour requirements.
