ONLINE NURSING PHD PROGRAM
The Doctor of Philosophy degree program in nursing is designed to prepare scholars and researchers capable of advancing nursing practice and education. Focused on health promotion, human response, and healing, students have the opportunity to study in the areas of biobehavioral research, vulnerable populations, and contemporary pedagogies. These areas of inquiry provide the structure for students to develop a plan of study to gain in-depth knowledge in a specific area of research. The program builds on advanced clinical preparation and knowledge at the master’s level and on the baccalaureate degree for the BSN to PhD students.
All required courses for the MSN to PhD Program, exclusive of the dissertation, can be completed in two years of full-time study. Required courses for the BSN to PhD Program, excluding the dissertation, can be completed in three years of full-time study. Courses are offered in online synchronous and asynchronous formats.
Students are required to come to campus for 5 days once each year to meet with their research advisors, other research faculty and students for the purpose of developing and refining research ideas.
