Informational Meetings For Graduate Programs

MSN Program

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced nursing practice in the care of cultural diverse individuals, families, groups and communities within a variety of health-care settings.

PhD and DNP Programs

Two post-baccalaureate doctoral programs in nursing are offered by Wayne State University College of Nursing.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program prepares highly competent researchers and scholars who will contribute to the body of scientific knowledge in nursing. Students in the program have opportunities to gain in-depth knowledge of nursing theories and develop skills in theory building, research methods, and in cognate disciplines bearing upon the development, transmission, and use of nursing knowledge.

The Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is designed to prepare the nurse at an advanced level of nursing science. The program emphasizes the development of the student's capacity to impact the clinical setting as leaders and educators and to utilize clinical research to improve and transform health care.

Anyone wishing to attend one of the doctoral information meetings is asked to reserve a place by contacting the Doctoral Program Secretary at 313 577-4144, prior to the meeting.
