The nursing PhD program aims to develop researchers skilled in performing groundbreaking studies that advance nursing science with meaningful discoveries. Participants cultivate inventive thought processes while critically evaluating and integrating academic literature in their specialization through diverse philosophical, theoretical, and methodological approaches. This doctorate is exclusively offered as an in-person curriculum without remote learning alternatives.
The doctoral curriculum focuses on three specialization areas: Evidence-based decision making in nursing and healthcare; Socio-political, educational, and historical influences on nursing;
Healthcare delivery systems and clinical practice.
