Start with the current University of Mobile DNP requirements

As of the July 21, 2026 roster check, CCNE accreditation records include a DNP program at University of Mobile. 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

The scholarly project turns a practice question into an approved change and a measurable evaluation. That work needs more than an address. The site must offer the relevant population, operational access, and enough support to carry the project through. Hospitals, ambulatory practices, public health teams, long-term care settings, and community programs can fit when the project and program rules align.

The project mentor must fit both the proposed work and University of Mobile's current credential rules. A DNP-prepared nurse, physician, nurse executive, quality leader, or another qualified practice expert may fit in some programs, but the title alone never establishes eligibility. We screen for role alignment and send the documented candidate to the program for its own review.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

AACN describes the DNP as requiring at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. The total assigned within a particular pathway, and the treatment of qualifying prior master's hours, varies by program. Do not use a generic number as University of Mobile's requirement. Confirm your own degree audit and course sequence first, then source against the remaining approved need.

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 Alabama

The directory places the school in Mobile, Alabama, which gives the search a useful geographic starting point. It does not establish where a student may complete hours. Confirm state authorization and location rules, then screen each site for course fit, mentor eligibility, conflicts, and willingness to complete the required paperwork.

The DNP placement guide for Alabama describes the wider mix of project settings and supervised practice sites. Use it for search context, then apply the exact rules confirmed by the program.

An approval-ready file identifies the proposed person's role, credentials, site, availability, and connection to the planned work. We assemble those facts for University of Mobile's review. Any affiliation contract, compliance item, background check, authorization decision, or additional form remains under the program's process.

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.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does University of Mobile approve the preceptor or project mentor?

University of Mobile 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 University of Mobile 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 University of Mobile 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 University of Mobile?

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