Ph.D. in Nursing Admissions

Ph.D.

Acceptance into the program occurs as completed applications are submitted, reviewed and interviews held.  See Admissions Requirements for more information.

Post BSN to Ph.D.

The applicant with a BSN will need to meet all the admission requirements for the Ph.D. program.

Post Master’s to Ph.D.

The applicant must hold a master’s degree in nursing from an NLNAC or CCNE accredited program and show documentation of a minimum GPA of 3.65 in all coursework for the master’s degree.
