The Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing degree program provides you with the knowledge to become an expert practitioner and nurse scientist, who can conduct applied clinical research and be a leader in the health care delivery system. The program at ETSU offers a strong and individualized doctoral program which includes cognate areas in nursing education, nursing administration, or advanced practice.

The opportunities for you with a doctoral degree in nursing are enormous, as few nurses in the nation hold this degree. Our graduates have employment possibilities as researchers with private or public entities, administrators in health care agencies, educators in nursing programs or advanced nurse practitioners.
