Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing

The Ph.D in Nursing prepares nurses for research and faculty roles, with a research emphasis on nursing care of diverse and vulnerable populations. Nursing faculty believe that education in nursing at the doctoral level prepares advance nurse clinicians as nurse scientists to discover, understand and critically evaluate the literature in nursing and related fields, and to apply appropriate principles and procedures to the recognition, evaluation, interpretation and understanding of issues and problems at the forefront of nursing knowledge.

The doctoral program is designed with both post-baccalaureate and post-master's entry points. Nurses who have baccalaureate degrees in nursing, but have master's degrees in other fields, will be eligible for advanced placement in the program.
