PhD in Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing

Adelphi offers its nursing doctorate entirely over the internet through the university's nursing and public health college. The program trains nurse scientists to carry out and publish research, guide the profession and add to nursing knowledge. The online model lets students choose their own study hours and avoids the costs of relocating or commuting. Faculty provide steady support during coursework and while students write their dissertations. Graduates can join university nursing faculty or contribute through leadership, research and policy roles in healthcare organizations. The research focus suits nurses who wish to help improve patient care through evidence and to train others in the discipline. Studying from home also lets students stay in their current jobs and communities.
