Reputable DNP to PhD programs?

With the goal of working in an academic setting, I am getting a DNP as advised be my current institution.  I have always known that I would need additional course work in pedagogy and curriculum development in order to have a shot at an academic position with a DNP alone.  In my search for education courses, I came across some DNP-PhD programs.

In my research it seems like Duquesne and IUP have reputable programs.  I am unfamiliar with other programs that have popped up in my search.  Am I missing any?

    There are plenty of universities that will hire DNP prepared nurse faculty. PhDs generally do not offer any specific course work on pedagogy either, so if you're looking for a doctorate that includes course work on pedagogy, the EdD is for you. There are even several universities, including an ivy - Columbia - that have an EdD in Nursing Education. 

    Take a look at just about any nursing school's faculty and you'll see a mix of DNP, PhD, EdD faculty and sometimes DrPH (public health) degree holders. So don't think that the DNP is necessarily going to hold you back from academia. It is true a small number of universities have not yet updated their viewpoints, but this is not the majority by a longshot. In fact, I teach and practice (both full time), and the director of the FNP program for example is DNP prepared and is now fully tenured.
