RISE & On-Campus Program Requirements:
RISE is the acronym for “Resident Intensive Summer Experience.” RISE is held virtually the first week of the Fall semester and is an orientation for new students. During RISE, students have opportunities to become acquainted with other students, faculty and staff, and to learn more about their program and the College of Nursing. All new students are required to attend RISE.
Campus Clinical Immersion:
Clinical Immersion takes place during the first week of each semester of the student’s clinical year (the final year in the program) for approximately 3 days. Clinical preceptorships are in-person.
DNP Project:
DNP students must complete the DNP Project to graduate from the program. The DNP Project is completed in two phases: Proposal and Final Presentation (Defense). Each student is required to present the DNP Project in an open forum upon completion. The official term of “Final Oral Defense” consists of a presentation of the DNP Project, questions and a closed session for the student and committee. The closed session follows the presentation and allows the committee to discuss the DNP Project with the student, and to identify any required revisions prior to submission. The committee chair (or one other member of the student’s committee), at minimum, must be in attendance if the student is present in the College of Nursing for this milestone.

RISE & On-Campus Program Requirements:
RISE is the acronym for “Resident Intensive Summer Experience.” RISE is held virtually the first week of the Fall semester and is an orientation for new students. During RISE, students have opportunities to become acquainted with other students, faculty and staff, and to learn more about their program and the College of Nursing. All new students are required to attend RISE.
Campus Clinical Immersion:
Clinical Immersion takes place during the first week of each semester of the student’s clinical year (the final year in the program) for approximately 3 days. Clinical preceptorships are in-person.
DNP Project:
DNP students must complete the DNP Project to graduate from the program. The DNP Project is completed in two phases: Proposal and Final Presentation (Defense). Each student is required to present the DNP Project in an open forum upon completion. The official term of “Final Oral Defense” consists of a presentation of the DNP Project, questions and a closed session for the student and committee. The closed session follows the presentation and allows the committee to discuss the DNP Project with the student, and to identify any required revisions prior to submission. The committee chair (or one other member of the student’s committee), at minimum, must be in attendance if the student is present in the College of Nursing for this milestone.

Program Description
The 13-credit hour Data Science and Visualization Certificate will provide undergraduate students the confidence and training they need in data collection, exploration, manipulation and storage, analysis, and presentation in order to navigate data-rich workplace environments. The certificate will signal to employers that students have dedicated the time and energy necessary to develop the skills and confidence for tackling messy, real-world data problems using modern programming languages. The Certificate will service a diverse student population, training both 1) technically-minded students the nuances associated with successfully developing and communicating data methods and results, and 2) less technically-minded students the basic skills necessary for gathering insights from data. The Certificate will require students to complete either an introductory data science or statistics course, a data mining course covering some of the more advanced algorithms used for gaining insight into and predicting from big data, and one elective course advancing their knowledge of how data science is conducted in research and business settings.
