Are there any pre-requisite requirements?
Yes. Students entering the PhD program are expected to have successfully passed a master’s level course in nursing theory, nursing research, and a basic statistics course before they enroll in the nursing sequence. As an initial course or before admission, the student must also successfully complete 26:705:570 Management of Health Data. The credits for this course do not count toward the PhD credit requirements. Students can obtain a waiver for this course requirement by passing an equivalency test offered by the College of Nursing.
