The Loma Linda University School of Nursing’s research-focused PhD program prepares nurse scientists to combine scientific research with leadership roles in nursing policy formation.
The PhD program emphasizes research by including 3 statistics classes in the core curriculum, while other programs only require 1. The curriculum builds on the foundational information and skills acquired through BSN education, and on the advanced knowledge and expertise gained in MSN education.
The LLU nursing school has a reputation of developing nurse scientists who contribute significant new knowledge to nursing practice and research.
