Illinois State University’s Board of Trustees today approved a Ph.D.
in Nursing degree program.
A critical shortage of nurses exists in the U.S., largely due to insufficient numbers of nursing faculty. The Ph.D. prepared nurse may conduct research or pursue a research career in an academic, business, government or industrial setting, or they may serve as educators and/or administrators and develop or consult on health care policy.
Mennonite College of Nursing plans to enroll 10 students annually in the Ph.D. program. Funding for the program comes from a three-year federal Health Services and Resources Administration Advanced Education Nursing grant. Long-term funding will be sought from the State of Illinois.
