The PhD in Nursing Science program is a research-based degree that trains students to create knowledge that will influence and alter the health of individuals, groups, and populations, using current theories of nursing science.

As a PhD student, you will work closely with faculty to create your own research-based program of study. These programs of study are based on your research interests as they intersect with the current research interests of School of Nursing faculty.

The PhD in Nursing Science program also offers an optional Concentration in Statistics in partnership with the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences.
