The PhD in Nursing program is 47 credits and provides a novel approach preparing nurse scientists at the highest level of education to generate new scientific knowledge, address healthcare problems, and educate the next generation of nurses. The program is embedded in an educational framework that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and reimagines education and discovery by encouraging collaboration among students during the formative stages of PhD education. The PhD in Nursing program embraces diversity and inclusion through its commitment to eliminate structural racism and unconscious bias in the recruitment and admission process, and advancement of a school wide culture of intolerance for systemic oppression of marginalized persons and groups.

This program is an exciting opportunity to learn directly from nursing scientists from Jefferson College of Nursing. Our goal is to push the frontier of knowledge and convey a sense of power that this knowledge can reshape the world. Graduates of our programs are poised to lead change, spur innovation, and transform healthcare.
