The PhD Program
The PhD program in nursing develops nurse scholars who contribute to the profession of nursing. Scholars are those nursing leaders who discover, integrate, apply, and disseminate knowledge to promote the health of society. The emphasis of the PhD program is on research, primarily in the areas that influence women's health.
The goals of the doctoral nursing program are to prepare nurse scholars who will:
- Engage in scholarship that will add to the body of nursing knowledge
- Influence professional values and practice
- Investigate substantive questions of human health
- Assume leadership in nursing and health care
- Integrate knowledge from nursing and other disciplines to address problems of human health
- Teach and mentor other nurses and nurse scholars
