Designed for nurses with a Master’s degree in nursing, our two-year, full time program allows you to earn a doctoral degree while continuing in your practice. An extended 3-year curriculum is available.
Transforming health care, especially for vulnerable populations, recognizes the critical need for clinicians to design, evaluate, and continuously improve the context within which care is delivered. Nurses prepared at the doctoral level with a blend of practice, organizational, economic, and leadership skills will evaluate and apply clinical evidence and science to design systems of care delivery that are locally acceptable, economically feasible, and have significant impact on health care outcomes.
