2013 Data Summary: State of the DNP Degree: Analysis of Four Years of National Survey Data
How many DNP graduates are there in the United States?
To best answer this question, we calculated the number of students reported in each university that responded to the annual surveys.
Estimates are based on the following assumptions:
- The number of years each program has been producing graduates
- The annual cohort numbers are constant
| Year | Annual Number of DNP Graduates Nationally (estimated) | Estimated Cumulative Total DNP Graduates |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 10,000 | 10,000 |
| 2013 | 13,000 | 23,000 |
| 2014 | 17,000 | 40,000 |
| 2015 | 20,000 | 60,000 |
| 2016 | 35,000 | 95,000 |
| 2017 | 42,000 | 137,000 |
