PhD in Nursing

Transform the science of healthcare

The Purdue University West Lafayette campus offers an on-site program to earn the Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (PhD in Nursing) degree. One of only two PhD in Nursing programs in the state of Indiana, our campus-based PhD program is designed to prepare the next generation of nurse scholars and scientists for a career in innovative and translational research through the use of interprofessional collaboration and teams. The PhD in Nursing emphasizes optimization of health care delivery through two foci: innovative care and innovations in healthcare delivery systems.
