Information Sheet on our Doctorate of Nursing Science Degree Program

Thank you for your interest in our Doctor of Nursing Science (DNS) degree program online. Very few (distance program) opportunities exist today for graduate prepared nurses to continue their education at the Doctorate Level.

Breyer State is proud to offer a new “Innovative” online distance education degree program leading to the Doctor of Nursing Science Degree. Our degree program consists of 10 (ten) core courses as below:

TOTAL HOURS = 90

Our program is a total of 90 semester hours of credits. Upon successful completion of all 10 courses, students are conferred the degree “Doctor of Nursing Science” and may use the initials, “DNS” after their name.

There are three Clinical Symposium Courses” in the DNS program; NRS 850, NRS 900, and NRS 950. When a student begins NRS 850 they are to declare a “major” concentration of study. Concentrations are available in any clinical discipline, including but not limited to: medical nursing, surgical nursing, psychiatric nursing, holistic nursing, oncology nursing, emergency nursing, geriatric nursing, pediatric nursing, obstetrics nursing, etc.

During the three clinical symposium courses, students will be doing independent study, independent research, projects, etc based on their chosen area of clinical specialty.

NRS 950 is a Doctoral Project Course. Students will propose a project to complete based on their chosen clinical specialty and will produce a paper detailing their project. The project can be a clinically related project or a more traditional research type of paper.

Students are given five years to complete the program.

Please Note: The DNS program in NOT accredited by the National League for Nursing (NLN).
