Ph.D. in Nursing Program
The doctor of philosophy prepares nurse researchers with expertise in vulnerable populations. The Ph.D. prepared nurse serves the public by designing and conducting research on relevant clinical, educational, health systems, and/or health policy topics. Following graduation a nurse with a Ph.D. may pursue a research career in the academic, business, government, or industrial setting. Nurses with a Ph.D. may also serve as educators and/or administrators and develop or consult on health care policy in a variety of settings.
To ensure successful completion of all requirements for
graduation, including the dissertation, Ph.D. students are
carefully matched with skilled researchers on faculty at MCN
who serve as the student’s advisor throughout their program
of study. The curriculum is structured to provide the student
with extensive research experience. Core course content enables
the student to achieve the American Association of Colleges
of Nursing quality indicators for research-focused doctoral
programs. Students in the doctor of philosophy program at
Mennonite College of Nursing focus studies and research
on aging.
