The PhD in Nursing Science, offered by the University of Toronto's Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, prepares scientists and scholars with the analytical and research skills needed to expand knowledge of clinical, theoretical, and health-systems issues in nursing. Graduates are expected to function as independent researchers capable of generating new nursing and health-systems knowledge. The standard program takes four years of full-time study, with a six-year time limit, and is delivered in person. Admission requires at least a B+ standing from a recognized university; applicants must also identify their own supervisor before being admitted, rather than having one assigned by the faculty. The PhD sits alongside the faculty's Master of Nursing and Doctor of Nursing (DN) as one of three graduate credentials, distinguished by its emphasis on original research training over clinical or teaching practice. Graduates typically pursue careers in nursing research, health-systems scholarship, and academic teaching roles.
