The College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP) offers a Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing, a community-engaged, research-based program that prepares emerging nurse scientists to promote health and health equity using a social justice lens. The objective of the joint MSN/PhD in Nursing is to prepare nurse scientists early in their professional career to ensure they have a longer trajectory upon which to make substantive and sustained contributions to the body of knowledge for the discipline of nursing and thereby improve health services for those who receive nursing care. Doctoral students are expected to plan and launch an independent program of research, seek needed support for initial phases of the research program and begin to involve others (i.e., students, clinicians and other researchers) in their activities.
