Academics on the Move UCF’s first Class Earns Doctor of Nursing Practice Degrees The first class of post-master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice students graduated from UCF’s College of Nursing on August 7, 2010. Some traveled as far away as Ft. Myers, Leesburg and Ocala to attend UCF’s commencement ceremony for their official doctoral “hooding.” UCF’s post-master’s D.N.P. program prepares advanced practice nurses to perform at the highest level of practice for the current health care environment based on a strong scientific foundation for practice; flexibility and emphasis on evidence-based practice, leadership and organizational analysis; and analysis of practice including completion of the Doctoral Thesis during their clinical residency semesters.
