Thank you for your interest in the PhD Program in Nursing and Healthcare Innovation at Arizona State University!
As you may know, we are one of the few interdisciplinary PhD programs in nursing in the U.S. The unique 84 credit hour program is designed for scholars who wish to develop advanced skills in innovation, research, education, healthcare delivery, and policy issues as they generate and apply knowledge across settings. Eighty-four percent of our graduates go on to academic positions, while others choose to enter industry and practice settings. We provide an academic environment that fosters scholarship, critical thinking and creativity for both BS-PhD and MS-PhD students. Student achievement is supported through rigorous coursework and personal, guided mentorship in research, a hallmark of the program. Coursework is offered in both traditional on-site delivery format and synchronous online delivery, each designed to maintain the commitment to a highly mentored, interactive learning experience.
Student research is supported by interdisciplinary faculty in various programs and Centers for Research Excellence, including health disparities, healthcare innovation leadership, healthy aging, healthy families, nursing education, and world health promotion and disease prevention. Current students utilize a variety of funding sources, including internal scholarships, fellowships, research assistantships, grant funding, and the Nurse Faculty Loan Repayment Program.
We invite you to explore the ASU Nursing and Healthcare Innovation PhD program on our website, by phone, or in person. Please contact us directly if you have any questions about the program, the application process, or the coursework. Our annual application deadline is December 15th. Most cordially,
