In the school's own words

“Fall 2026 application priority deadline: December 1, 2025”

“All admitted PhD in Nursing students are eligible for financial assistance, contingent on their following the relevant full-time program plan. Financial assistance may be provided through a 25% graduate research assistantship (RA) and/or School of Nursing Scholarships.”

“While many applicants are registered nurses with Masters degrees, we admit individuals who are not nurses to the PhD program... We also strongly encourage nurses with a BSN degree to apply.”
