Schedule and format at Duquesne University School of Nursing

• Here’s what I found about schedule and format flexibility for Duquesne University School of Nursing (per your specified points), based exclusively on official Duquesne University sources:
• Duquesne University offers both fully online and hybrid learning options for nursing-related programs (e.g., MSN, Post‑Master’s Certificates, DNP), as noted in the Online Student Experience and Online Programs sections. These programs involve a blend of asynchronous and synchronous elements: students participate in interactive virtual discussions and assignments (asynchronous), and occasionally engage in real-time Zoom meetings, which may be recorded if attendance isn’t possible.
• Courses are not purely self‑paced; while asynchronous activities are involved, many involve deadlines and interactions with faculty and peers, and some include synchronous Zoom sessions per course syllabus.
• There is no mention in the official nursing site or catalog pages of evening or weekend class offerings, nor of multiple cohort start dates specific to nursing programs. Information on flexible timing (evening/weekend) or cohort scheduling is not clearly available on the main nursing pages.
• Transfer credit / advanced‑standing for nursing programs:
• – For graduate programs (e.g., DNAP), Duquesne may accept advanced‑standing credits if the applicant submits official graduate‑level transcripts, a request form, and course syllabus/outlines; courses must have a grade of “B” (3.0) or better, generally taken within the past five years; approval is individual and communicated via email; all transferred credits are recorded with grade “T” and do not count toward GPA ([duq.edu](https://www.duq.edu/documents/academics/colleges-and-schools/nursing/nursing-graduate-hand
