DNP preceptors and project sites for Augsburg University

Our role for Augsburg University DNP students is specific: identify a mentor, preceptor, or practice site that fits the current requirements supplied by the student. The program reviews the proposal, and no match is represented as approved before that review is complete.

Start with the current Augsburg University DNP requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 roster check, CCNE accreditation records include a DNP program at Augsburg University. Accreditation answers the inclusion question. Your current catalog and placement office must answer the separate questions about entry route, specialty, deadlines, and site approval.

Begin with the course number, term dates, required practice setting, mentor or preceptor credentials, location limits, and every form your program expects. If the course includes both a scholarly project and direct-care practice, separate those needs so each proposed person and site can be evaluated for the work they will actually supervise.

Make the scholarly project the placement spine

A DNP scholarly project needs a practice setting where the student can examine a real care or systems problem, introduce an approved change, and evaluate results. Suitable settings may include health systems, hospitals, clinics, public health programs, long-term care organizations, or community services. The right setting depends on the approved project question, access to the intended population, and the site's capacity to support the work.

A willing professional is not automatically an eligible project mentor. The candidate needs experience that matches the project plus whatever education, licensure, independence, and conflict standards Augsburg University currently applies. Our screen organizes that evidence for review without claiming to decide eligibility for the school.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

At least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours are part of AACN's DNP framework, but that is not a school-specific course total. Prior qualifying master's hours and the hours assigned to the DNP pathway vary. Ask Augsburg University to confirm the student's remaining requirement and build the placement request from that answer.

Separate the hours by purpose before selecting a person. A clinical population focus can require an eligible NP or physician, while a systems, leadership, or project experience can require a different mentor profile. Our DNP clinical hours guide covers the national framework, not an invented total for this school.

Build an approval-ready match in Minnesota

A local search can start in Minneapolis and extend to eligible sites elsewhere in Minnesota when the program and state authorization rules allow it. Geography is only one filter. The proposed site must also support the course objectives, the mentor must meet current credential and conflict rules, and both parties must be willing to complete the school's approval documents.

For the broader project-site and practice landscape, read the DNP placement guide for Minnesota. It adds geographic context without changing the school's authority over the student's course and site.

We organize the candidate's setting, role, credentials, availability, and relationship to the project before submission. That gives Augsburg University a complete proposal to evaluate. It does not replace an affiliation agreement, compliance review, background requirement, state authorization check, or any other step the school requires.

What to confirm before outreach begins

  • Your exact DNP pathway and practicum course
  • The remaining approved practice hours shown by your program
  • Whether the need is a project mentor, direct-care preceptor, systems mentor, or a combination
  • Required credentials and disallowed relationships
  • Approved state, setting, population, and project parameters
  • Submission deadline and all site or preceptor forms

Policies can change after a catalog or accreditation listing is published. Use the official school site linked below to locate the current handbook and confirm each item with your program. We will work from the requirements you provide and will not substitute a rule from another school.

Independent DNP placement support for Augsburg University students

Bring the current course documents into the search from the first step. We need the dates, geography, setting, population or systems focus, project question, credential rules, and submission forms. See how placement works; the final decision always remains with the program.

PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by Augsburg University and has no university authority to approve a site. Submitting a matching request begins candidate sourcing only; it does not guarantee placement, paperwork completion, or school approval.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Augsburg University approve the preceptor or project mentor?

Augsburg University makes its own approval decisions. We identify and document a candidate around the current requirements you provide, then the program reviews the person, site, and paperwork.

How many DNP practice hours does Augsburg University require?

AACN sets a floor of at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours, but the total and treatment of prior qualifying hours varies by program. Confirm your current Augsburg University degree audit and handbook rather than relying on a generic number.

Can you find both a DNP project mentor and a clinical preceptor?

Yes, when the current course requirements call for both roles. We screen each candidate for the work that person will supervise and submit the match for program approval.

Are you affiliated with Augsburg University?

No. PreceptorDNP is an independent placement service. We do not represent Augsburg University, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
