There are two pathways for nurses to achieve the profession’s highest clinical degree: the Doctor of Nursing Practice. The Nursing DNP program is offered by the UCSF Division of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs and is administered and delivered by faculty in the UCSF School of Nursing.
The entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree is a three-year joint program between UC San Francisco and San Francisco State University (SFSU). Physical therapy is a dynamic profession with an established theoretical and scientific base and widespread clinical applications in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function.
