Doctoral Programs
Coursework
The doctoral program in Nursing consists of
23 course
units (cu), which includes a 1 cu Teaching Residency and a 1 cu Research
Residency. Eight courses can be transferred from a Master’s program. The
doctoral program also requires a Qualifying Examination (or MS General
Examination for those students entering the MS-PhD program), 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 length of time that most students take to complete coursework is from three
to five years of full time study. 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
typical model curriculum for a full time student is provided below:
