Ph.D. Part-time Schedule

Students who hold a master's degree in nursing generally enter at year two. Students who hold the Bachelor's degree will generally complete the educational requirements for advanced practice before moving into the doctoral courses. Fall Term extends from July to December; Spring Term extends from January to June.
Upon admission to candidacy, all graduate students, including those who have been enrolled part-time, must be enrolled full-time for the remainder of their program, unless the Dean approves an exception to this policy.
