The Doctor of Nursing (DN) is a professional doctoral credential offered by the University of Toronto's Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, introduced in September 2021. It is designed to prepare nurses with the skills to apply advanced knowledge in complex, fast-paced, technologically sophisticated health-care environments and in nursing education, giving graduates a formal academic credential and a competitive edge as they move into senior practice or teaching roles. The program is delivered in a hybrid format, combining online coursework with in-person components, and is offered full-time only. Admission requires at least a B+ standing from a recognized university. The DN is one of three graduate credentials offered by the faculty alongside the Master of Nursing and the PhD in Nursing Science, and is distinguished from the PhD by its practice-oriented rather than primarily research-oriented focus, aimed at nurses moving into advanced clinical, administrative, or teaching leadership roles rather than academic research careers.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need at least a B+ standing from a recognized university. Official University of Toronto sources give differing figures for the program length (three years per the program's quick-facts summary versus four years full-time with a six-year time limit per the SGS academic calendar), so duration is not set pending confirmation. The program is delivered in a hybrid format. Standardized English-language test scores are not required or recommended per the SGS quick-facts summary.
