Start with the current University of Wyoming DNP requirements

The CCNE identified an accredited DNP program at University of Wyoming when this directory was verified on July 21, 2026. That evidence supports inclusion here, but it does not establish a specific pathway, specialty, placement policy, or deadline. Confirm those details in your current handbook or with the field placement office before anyone begins outreach.

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.

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 Wyoming. We document the proposed mentor's role and let the program make that determination.

Map supervised practice hours before sourcing

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 Wyoming'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.

Build an approval-ready match in Wyoming

The directory places the school in Laramie, Wyoming, 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 Wyoming 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.

We organize the candidate's setting, role, credentials, availability, and relationship to the project before submission. That gives University of Wyoming 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 University of Wyoming students

Once the current requirements are clear, a search request should include the course, dates, approved location, setting, population focus, project topic, and school forms. The placement process uses those facts to screen candidates before the program performs its own review.

PreceptorDNP is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Wyoming, and nothing on this page is issued on the school's behalf. We independently search for candidates and cannot promise that a person or site will be found or approved. When the confirmed requirements are available, request a match to begin the search.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does University of Wyoming approve the preceptor or project mentor?

University of Wyoming 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 Wyoming 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 Wyoming 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 Wyoming?

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