Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Year-1: This session will center around the course entitled “Literature Synthesis for Nursing Science”. The goal will be that students will receive classroom sessions and direct interactions with faculty to facilitate their compilation of the beginning stages of the literature review that will eventually support the dissertation

Year-2: This session will focus on the course entitled “Preliminary Exam Preparation”. During this intensive session students will receive classroom sessions and guided faculty support as they prepare for their preliminary examination.

Year-3: This session will be centered around a minimum of two dissertation hours. During this session, students will present their prospectus for the dissertation to their committee and student colleagues. This is meant to be a formal presentation but will be attended by all of the students to build a sense of academic community and facilitate academic engagement.
