Online or On-Campus Ph.D. Program - Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing The doctoral program, online PhD program, at the University of Kansas School of Nursing has been in existence since 1983. Only 23 doctoral programs in nursing were established prior to our KU program. Beginning in the Summer Semester of 2006, the program has been available in two formats. The courses in the program are offered in a modified on-campus classroom format and online.
Purpose
The four purposes of the online PhD program in nursing are to prepare graduates to function in faculty positions in college and university settings; to conduct independent research and scholarly endeavors in nursing; to generate and expand theoretical, empirical, and philosophical bases for nursing practice; and to provide leadership to the profession and interpret nursing to society.
Philosophy
The doctoral program, online PhD program, in nursing at the University of Kansas School of Nursing is based on theory and research skills gained in baccalaureate and master's education in nursing. The focus is on the development of critical thinking, independent decision-making and evaluation. The student develops expertise in research methods related to the biological, social, and nursing sciences. Development and analysis of concepts and theories used in nursing education and practice are integral components of doctoral education.
The nurse engaged in doctoral study in nursing is an adult learner with unique perspectives gained from personal, professional, and educational experiences. This individual tends to be self directed, goal oriented, highly motivated and capable of abstract, original thinking. Individual interests are explored through study in a related discipline. Learning is achieved through independent study and research, as well as through completion of courses of instruction.
The KU School of Nursing doctoral program prepares nurse educators and research scholars for positions in college, university, or health care settings. Graduates are prepared to advance the art and science of nursing and to assume leadership positions in the profession.
Outcomes
Develop expertise in the application of theoretical and conceptual frameworks to nursing.
Conduct and communicate research that advances the body of scientific nursing knowledge.
Analyze, develop, and evaluate concepts and theories that contribute to the science of nursing.
Evaluate the impact of the expanded knowledge base in nursing and external forces on the provision of health care to society and on the development of health care policy.
Examine the ways in which nursing knowledge and practice are influenced by historical developments, philosophical thought and cultural diversity.
Time to Degree The median time to degree for students who graduated in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and completed the course work on a full time basis is 4.8 years. The median time for all students who graduated in those years is 5.7 years.
Employment After Graduation Of the 89 graduates (1986-2007), 72% have been employed in nursing education as faculty members, researchers, and administrators. Employment categories for the remaining 28% include directors of research in hospitals, hospital systems and other health agencies, pharmaceutical research, clinical practice settings, National Institutes of Health, consultation, professional writing and nursing administration positions in hospitals and other agencies.
