Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing

Washington State University

Enroll in the PhD in Nursing program and learn how to design, conduct, and disseminate research that will generate new knowledge directed toward changing nursing science, healthcare, and nursing practice. You will join a small cohort of nurse scholars, developing supportive relationships with these fellow students and faculty. Faculty and staff are accessible and committed to your success, and you will have regular research and academic mentoring through the establishment of your career as a nurse scientist. Approximately 66% of our students are funded through research/teaching assistantship, scholarships, or Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program awards.

WSU College of Nursing’s baccalaureate to PhD in Nursing meets a growing demand for nurse scholars who can develop the science, steward the profession, and educate new nurse researchers. The American Association of Colleges of Nurses (AACN) also endorses increasing the pipeline of nurses entering PhD programs by promoting entry into PhD studies earlier in nurses’ education and careers.
