We help DNP students enrolled at University of Texas at Tyler find program-approvable project mentors, preceptors, and practicum sites. The school makes every approval decision, and our independent role is to source a match around the requirements you confirm.
This snapshot answers why the school is in the directory. It does not assign an entry pathway, specialty, hour total, or placement policy that the evidence does not establish. Use the official school website and your current program materials to confirm those details.
As of the July 21, 2026 roster check, CCNE accreditation records include a DNP program at University of Texas at Tyler. 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.
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.
Mentor selection follows the project, then the program's current qualification rules. Relevant experience may sit with a DNP-prepared nurse, physician, executive, quality professional, or another practice expert, yet no credential should be assumed acceptable at University of Texas at Tyler. We document the proposed mentor's role and let the program make that determination.
The national DNP framework starts with at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. A student's remaining hours cannot be calculated from that floor alone because programs differ on pathway design and qualifying prior master's work. Use University of Texas at Tyler's current degree audit and course plan to establish the approved balance before a search begins.
For a direct-care pathway, the plan may require a board-certified nurse practitioner or physician in the student's population focus. Systems and leadership hours may call for a different practice expert and setting. The DNP clinical hours guide explains the cumulative post-baccalaureate framework without assigning a school-specific total that the evidence does not support.
Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Tyler. A site in Texas or another authorized location still has to meet the course objectives, support the intended work, and provide an eligible mentor who will participate in the school's review process.
For the broader project-site and practice landscape, read the DNP placement guide for Texas. 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 University of Texas at Tyler 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.
A prior term's instructions may no longer control the next placement cycle. Confirm the checklist with the current handbook or placement office, save the applicable forms, and send that version with the request. We do not fill gaps by borrowing policies from a different school.
If a suitable mentor or practicum site is still missing after you confirm the requirements, send us the course, dates, location, setting, population focus, project topic, and approval documents. Our placement process starts with that evidence, and the program retains final authority over every match.
PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Texas at Tyler 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.
University of Texas at Tyler 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.
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 Texas at Tyler degree audit and handbook rather than relying on a generic number.
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.
No. PreceptorDNP is an independent placement service. We do not represent University of Texas at Tyler, and we cannot guarantee that the school will approve a proposed mentor, preceptor, or site.
