We are in the process of revising our curriculum, and we expect it will be approved for students entering in September 2008. Please call 212-998-9019 for more information.
The NYU College of Nursing (NYUCN) has one of the
oldest Ph.D. nursing programs in the United States.
Our faculty is composed of some of the most lauded,
published, and funded researchers in the field today.
NYUCN’s affiliations with hundreds of hospitals,
private practices, clinics, professional journals,
and other institutions provide a wealth of support
for our Ph.D. students.
The Ph.D. program in nursing research and theory development is designed to support students and guide them in the achievement of their academic and professional goals in nursing education, nursing service, administration, and clinical practice. The curriculum is designed to provide an excellent foundation in the philosophy of scientific inquiry, theory development in nursing science, quantitative and qualitative research designs, and methodological approaches to data management and analyses. Our faculty members are dedicated to challenging and encouraging students to conduct groundbreaking original research and to examine their own interests and passions for public service.
Graduates of the Ph.D. program assume major positions in academic, health care, research, and practice settings. Opportunities for individualized career counseling by faculty are provided.
Students of our program come from all backgrounds, all stages of personal and career development, but they share one common thread: the excellence of their thought and dedication to the nursing field. We invite you to take a closer look at our program. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions about the Ph.D. Program in Nursing Research and Theory. We look forward to meeting you, and welcoming you into our NYU College of Nursing.
