Launch of a New PhD Program

Our PhD program will prepare nurse leaders to collaborate across disciplines to solve complex problems, such as healthcare system redesign, as well as to address multiple issues facing individuals, families, communities and populations. Interdisciplinary research that is both translational and innovative will be foundational to the program. We will accomplish this through adding faculty professorships, additional funding for graduate fellowships, endowed scholarships and matching grant monies, and individual support of specific student research projects.

National and Global Educational Experiences

The nurse of the future must be able to deliver safe, quality, patient-centered care across all settings, especially in such areas as transitional care, primary care and population health. In order to compete in the global market, we must formalize a global curriculum and provide international educational experiences for our students. We will accomplish this through adding faculty professorships and additional funding for scholarships.

Research Excellence

By developing our Office of Nursing Research, we can attain national and international prominence while growing our capacity to support faculty and student research. We will accomplish this through adding faculty professorships, additional funding for student fellowships, private grants and matching grant monies.
