The highest academic preparation in nursing is the doctoral degree. Our doctoral programs focus on preparation either for original research (PhD) or for data-based improved practice outcomes (DNP).

 

	The PhD prepares nurses to pursue theoretical inquiry and conduct original research for the purpose of extending our knowledge.
	The DNP prepares graduates for the highest level of clinical practice, including clinical and translational analysis for improved practice outcomes.
