Introduction
Learn from renowned faculty members in a Top-Tier 1 Research Institution, while preparing for a career in research. Surround yourself with passionate peers. Transform the nursing discipline by advancing the theories behind practice and delivery. The College of Nursing continuously generates research regarding key areas such as women's health, diabetes, health equity and accessibility, caregiving, cancer, and more.
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Nursing program prepares students for research careers. The distance Ph.D. nursing program admits students who have earned a bachelor's degree with a major in nursing (BSN, BS) or a master's degree in nursing or related disciplines. The traditional BS-PhD and MS-PhD tracks share a common program of study with the exception of nine (9) additional MS cognate credits required for BS-PhD students. Occasionally the PhD program also admits cohorts of BS- and MS-PhD students with a specialty focus (such as gerontology or oncology).
