Explores complex political, institutional, social and economic forces impacting the higher education environment. Examines leadership challenges for nursing in higher education. Students analyze the research and scholarship of teaching exploring ways of integrating research to create innovation and change. Emphasis is on an integrated synthesis of the research on a selected issue in nursing education or area in the scholarship of teaching.

Weekly seminar discussions or presentations based on nursing or interdisciplinary research, theory development or methods alternating with focused dissertation discussions with faculty. Detailed exploration of grant development skills integrated across the four semester sequence supports skill development for dissertation proposal.

The dissertation is the culmination of knowledge development across the program. Over a period of several semesters, students synthesize and integrate knowledge from the program of study and develop a concentrated investigation of a fundamental or applied issue pertinent to nursing science. Students' research must make a contribution to nursing science in the area of chronic illness and /or nursing education. Students will successfully complete the qualifying requirement and prepare a formal proposal endorsed by the students' dissertation committee. The written dissertation must be completed in accordance with the rules of the Office of Graduate Studies and the College of Nursing.
