  • The PhD curriculum is not lock-step; students do not graduate as a class at the end of a specific semester. A minimum of three years full-time attendance (at least 9 credit hours per semester) or four years part-time attendance (less than 9 credit hours per semester) is required.
  • Order of courses may vary.
  • Students take NURS 9250 from the third semester in the program until they officially enter candidacy; then they take NURS 9300 for 3-9 hours each semester until graduation. A minimum of 18 dissertation credit hours (NURS 9300) is required over 2 semesters.
  • The student’s advisory committee may require more than the minimum number of elective credit hours in the student’s area of concentration (AOC; minimum 17 elective credit hours, with 15 hours being in the student’s AOC). AOC courses include NURS 9240: Independent Study and NURS 9020: Special Topics.
  • Students can request approval for transfer of up to 9 credit hours of doctoral level courses into the PhD program.
