There are two entry points to the PhD Program: a Post-BSN Option and a Post-MSN Option for those with an earned master's degree in nursing. Both options culminate with the PhD degree. 

The post-master’s course work can be completed in two years of full-time study. This does not include the minimum two semesters required  for dissertation research. Part-time plans are also available.

Deadline for fall admission is Feb. 15 and Oct. 1 for spring admission. Admission decisions are made on a competitive basis. Applications received after deadline may be considered on a space-available basis.
