DNP/PhD Dual Degree Nursing

2 Years On Campus Phd Program

University of Tennessee Health Science Center

Program Overview

Unlike the traditional DNP program, the first semesters of the combined program focus on developing students ability to conduct clinical research. Thus, students do not enroll in a clinical specialty course until later in the program. The total time to graduation varies and depends on the student s background and research topic. Students apply to the DNP and PhD in Nursing Science program at the same time and must be accepted into both programs to be considered for admission into the combined DNP/PhD program.
