Doctor of Philosophy

The PhD in Nursing is ideal for the student who wants to focus on research and scholarship in a clinical, academic, or other scientific environment. Students may enter the PhD level of graduate study as a post-BSN student (BSN to PhD Pathway), as a student who has attained a master's degree in nursing or other health-related field (MS to PhD Pathway), as a student who previously attained a DNP (DNP to PhD Pathway), or as a dual doctoral degree student (PhD-DNP). Coursework for the PhD program is online with both part-time and full-time options. One week of on-campus attendance each year is required. Required credits vary depending on entry track and prior academic preparation.
