Program Approval
The Doctor of Nursing Practice program has been approved by Metropolitan State University and by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). The Higher Learning Commission must also extend its approval before students can be fully admitted or the program can begin. Metropolitan State University expects a decision from the Higher Learning Commission sometime in late 2011. All information is subject to change without notice.
