Our research doctoral degree program prepares nurses for a lifetime of intellectual inquiry, creative scholarship and independent or collaborative research. Our graduates shape not just the future of nursing, but all of health care by advancing the theories behind practice and delivery. Students can pursue this degree through full- or part-time study. Classes meet in the late afternoon or evening in this campus-based program.

"I've gained a unique skillset that really allows me to work in a clinical setting where there's need for research and application of evidence practice, as well as in an academic setting. There would be no way I would be able to lead groups of clinicians in performing original research, in applying research in their practice and making significant change without the strong foundation of research skills that I gained at Seton Hall."
