Nursing - Doctor of Philosophy

The Doctor of Philosophy degree program with a major in Nursing is designed to prepare nurse scientists to successfully address emerging health challenges locally, nationally, and globally by applying and developing knowledge in nursing and related disciplines.

A major emphasis of this program is to prepare graduates for a career in intervention and translation science in the areas of wellness behaviors, risk reduction, and self-symptom management.

Graduates of the program will be well-positioned to conduct original research using appropriate designs, measures and methodologies; apply relevant concepts and theories and frameworks to develop the science related to wellness, risk reduction and chronic illness; to improve health outcomes through nursing interventions and translation of science; and lead interdisciplinary teams to advance team science in nursing.
