Applicants who are not US citizens or Permanent Residents need to know that the University of Minnesota's DNP program does not meet the requirements for eligibility needed to obtain the appropriate F-1 student visa or status because the DNP has limited (less than four) face-to-face on-site classes per DNP course.
