Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing

 
 
 
 

The Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (Ph.D.) Program was established in 2000 and is a research-focused doctoral program that emphasizes global health issues and public policy related to the health of vulnerable populations. The program prepares nurse scientists whose scholarly work advances the substantive knowledge base that informs nursing education, clinical practice, and leadership.

Through rigorous training in research methods and theory, doctoral students engage in scholarly inquiry addressing health disparities among underserved and minority populations. This focus prepares graduates for careers in nursing research, academia, and leadership roles within academic, clinical, and administrative settings, consistent with the program’s mission to improve health equity and outcomes.
