Doctoral Programs
CourseworkThe doctoral program in Nursing
consists of 13 required courses beyond the masters degree. The program also
includes a Qualifying
Examination, a Preliminary examination, a defense of the dissertation proposal,
dissertation work, and a defense of the final dissertation. A full time student
takes three or four courses a semester in the Fall and Spring Semester of every
year.
The School of Nursing is committed to fully funding all full time students. Full
funding provides a stipend and tuition support for four years. Part time students are also welcome to apply and the program
may be taken on a part time basis. Upon acceptance to the Doctoral Program each
student is assigned an advisor from the Standing Faculty of the School of
Nursing. The student and advisor develop individual plans of study. However, a
