Nursing PhD Program of Study
New York State Registered Program Code: 33576
HEGIS Code: 1203.10 {Nursing-R.N. Required for Admission}
Molloy Program of Study Code: PHNUR
The goal of advancing nursing knowledge must be grounded in respect for the dignity of the individual human being. It must also emerge from principles and methods of scientific inquiry and an examination of nursing actions within nursing environments. The process for reaching this goal is provided in a core of required courses that address the theoretical and empirical basis for nursing and the substantive construction of research and theory to guide nursing practice.
The program design allows students to expand upon prior educational endeavors and experience. Depth of knowledge in the research interest area is developed through the combination of required coursework, elective courses, research residency (an immersion in activities with a research-active faculty mentor), independent study and the dissertation process.
