PhD in Nursing

The online PhD program is designed to prepare visionary scholars who are capable of conducting clinical scholarship to improve the health of a diverse society and of teaching in nursing educational programs (especially those with minority student populations).

Courses are offered via the Internet (WebCT), email, list-serves, and other web based technology. Prior to the start of the first semester, a one week intensive meeting will be held for introductions, socialization into the profession, introduction to the courses, meetings with advisors and other professors, and to work out logistical issues. In addition, yearly on campus times are required for the dissertation proposal defense, to attend seminars, and for the final dissertation defense. The on-line program will allow you flexibility to accommodate course, work, and personal schedules.

This program is a part time four year track. The program requires 45 credits of post master's course work, plus dissertation. An outstanding faculty committed to research and education with a wide range of expertise will guide your study and research. You will also receive the support of individual academic advising to assist you as needed. You will be part of a cohort of students from many locations who share the same goals and who also serve as a support network.
