GSBS Prospective Students
We will be having a four-part Nursing Science Information session that we invite you to join. We will offer Information Sessions virtually, 6 pm-7 pm on the designated date. In each session, attendees will have an opportunity to meet with faculty, Ph.D. students, and graduates.
In order to educate more nurses, we need nurses with Ph.D.s. Less than two percent of nurses have a Ph.D., so our students have no problem getting a job at all.
Dr. Sara Gill, Professor and Associate Dean for Graduate Studies
