We are delighted to announce the opening of a new PhD Program. The College of Nursing will admit its first class of PhD students in September of 2008, and welcomes applicants to the program.
The Nurse Scientist Educator
This innovative PhD Program in Nursing is intended to address the critical nursing shortage by preparing qualified nurse scientist educators who will:
- advance knowledge in nursing education
- improve nursing practices in the care of people living with chronic illness
- become leaders in nursing research, education, and practice
The program is designed to offer a unique curriculum with courses in nursing science; substantive knowledge (health within chronic illness experience); research methodologies; and role development (nurse educator). For more information, please contact Graduate Program Director Gail Russell, EdD, RN, CNAA, BC at 508-999-8251 or grussell@umassd.edu.
