Across provinces, countries, and worldwide, there's a growing deficit of nursing faculty with doctoral qualifications. Trinity Western University's School of Nursing introduces an innovative PhD in Nursing program tailored for current or aspiring nurse educators, as well as professionals in or entering healthcare organizations. This doctoral program fosters a vibrant community of nurse researchers who expand their expertise, advance nursing science, and assume leadership roles in both academic and clinical settings.
Grounded in TWU's Christian values, the program enables students to cultivate an ethical foundation for scholarly work, administration, and investigation. Designed for working professionals in education or healthcare, the online format offers flexibility with key components including: yearly summer intensives, specialized internships in teaching, policy, or research, graduate-level seminars, and an in-depth dissertation project.
