The Doctor of Philosophy with major in Nursing (PhD) degree program prepares nurses as scholars in conducting nursing research about practice problems and creating innovative responses to practice issues. The program is expected to expand nursing knowledge and theory and directly impact the health of communities.
The Doctor of Nursing Practice program is the first Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accredited DNP program in Florida. Our goal is to help students grow in clinical scholarship and develop into leaders in advanced practice who provide expert care to our community and beyond.
Our fully online, self-paced, on-demand certificate courses increase knowledge and clinical judgment in patient care and explore caring approaches in areas including Compassionate Care of Older Adults at Risk for or Experiencing Dementia, Telemetry/Progressive Care, Caring Science and Telehealth.
Applicants holding an earned Master of Science degree in Nursing from an accredited program may apply to the College’s Post Graduate Certificate (PGC) Programs which provide graduates with advanced knowledge and skills in various concentrations.
