| Doctoral
programs emphasize preparation for research to prepare students to
pursue intellectual inquiry and conduct independent research for the
purpose of extending nursing knowledge. The PhD, or Doctor of Philosophy degree, is the most commonly offered research-focused degree. However, some schools award a Doctor of Nursing Science (DNS or DNSc) as the research-focused doctoral degree. Individuals educated in research-focused doctoral programs are prepared to pursue careers in research and teaching and also are prepared to pursue careers in the fields of nursing and health care administration and policy. The purposes of the research-focused doctoral degree are to prepare for a lifetime of intellectual inquiry, creative scholarship, and research; to provide preparation that leads to careers in government, business, and industry as well as academia; and result in extension of knowledge.  Research Focused Programs: Boston College Northeastern University School of Nursing University of Massachusetts/Amherst University of Massachusetts/Boston University of Massachusetts/Lowell University of Massachusetts/Worcester |
