Ph.D. in Health Sciences (Ph.D. HS)
The Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences emphasizes an interprofessional orientation to research and practice. It seeks to educate a wide range of individuals to teach, conduct research and practice in an ever more complex interprofessional world. It also seeks to respond to an increasing demand for faculty and practitioners who are prepared to function in fields grounded in information-driven, evidence-based practice.
Our Objectives
- Accommodate full-time and part-time students from a wide range of professional and education backgrounds
- Link students with faculty based on a student's career and research interests
- Use a hybrid model of online course delivery and strategic face-to-face (f2f) sessions
- Make it possible for students to plan their graduate experience by providing an Admission-to-Graduation template
