We’ve made some important changes in the PhD
in Nursing Program!
We will now accept
applications for Fall Semester only. This change helps
students to stay “on track” as they move through the program. If you’re
considering applying to the program, please contact us as soon as
possible. The deadline for all application materials (including
the faculty interview) is June 5.
We are now offering students the opportunity
to identify and design their own Individualized Area of Study and have
eliminated the prescriptive academic and clinical roles. This allows you
to tailor your study according to your particular interests (such
as nursing education, genomics, or leadership).
More “hybrid” classes are being added to our
program. This means that more courses will be offered online
with students meeting a limited number of times on campus. This format
gives students flexibility of scheduling, reduces travel, and still
provides the personal contact that is so important at the doctoral
level.
The minimum number of hours required for the
doctoral coursework has been reduced from 69 to 54 hours.
This includes 12 hours of Research Tools that meet the University’s
Foreign Language/Research Tools requirement, eliminating the need to
take an additional 12 hours to meet the requirement.
