Doctoral Program

The mission of the doctoral program in Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania is to prepare nurse scientists for successful careers, particularly in research intensive environments.

Graduates of this program will serve as leaders at the forefront of nursing science, conducting and disseminating research for the advancement of nursing practice. These nurse scientists will take responsibility for shaping and advancing healthcare, with the ultimate goal of improving the public's health through the integration of theory, research, and practice.

Through our state-of-the science curriculum, Penn Nursing doctoral students are rigorously prepared to create, test and implement ideas that will improve health care, change health and delivery systems and determine the future of the profession.
