The University at Buffalo School of Nursing's Post-MS Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is a completion program that will provide you with the doctoral courses you did not have in your MSN program. This program is not designed to educate nurse practitioners in a new specialty area. Applicants must already hold national certification in the specialty area to which they are applying.
All application materials are submitted online through the application portal, except for official transcripts. Please do not upload any screenshots of transcripts.
Ensure that your transcripts are sent to SUNY University at Buffalo, not to SUNY Buffalo State University.
