Questions UofM students ask

Does the University of Memphis offer a DNP?

Not in the 2026-27 graduate catalog. UofM's graduate nursing programs are the MSN concentrations, the graduate certificates and a PhD.

Yes. UofM offers graduate certificates in FNP, AG-ACNP and PMHNP with the same practicum courses as the MSN. See the NP certificates guide.

Is UofM's MSN online?

Yes, with in-person practicums in your local area and up to three short on-campus intensives for NP students. See on-campus intensives.
