Master's Transition to the Doctoral Programs<br />

A student enrolled in the master's program who has advanced standing can apply for admission<br />

to the Ph.D. Program. A similar arrangement is being developed for admission to the D.N.P.<br />

Program. Advanced standing is defined as completion <strong>of</strong> at least 17 credit hours <strong>of</strong> M.S.N.<br />

coursework including: (a) 6 hours <strong>of</strong> clinical seminar/practicum, (b) 2 hours <strong>of</strong> theory, (c) 3<br />

hours <strong>of</strong> research, and (d) a GPA <strong>of</strong> 3.3.<br />

When students articulate course work between the master's and Ph.D. programs, the minimum<br />

requirements for each program must be satisfied for either or both degrees to be awarded.<br />

Application Procedure<br />

• Submit a letter to the assistant dean for research and the Ph.D. program expressing a<br />

desire to enroll in the Ph.D. Program. Include with the letter a revised goal statement<br />

reflecting your interest in Ph.D. education and research.<br />

• Attach an example <strong>of</strong> scholarly work (in absence <strong>of</strong> a degree).<br />

• Request that your academic advisor send the assistant dean for research and the Ph.D.<br />

program a recommendation about your admission to the Ph.D. program.<br />

• Complete an interview with the assistant dean for research and the Ph.D. program and<br />

one additional faculty member.<br />

• Additional letters <strong>of</strong> reference may be requested.<br />

Applications received after the stated deadlines will be considered on a space available<br />

basis only.<br />
