Ph.D. in Nursing

“My experiences as a Ph.D. in Nursing student at Wilkes University have been overwhelmingly positive! The program is rigorous but I would not have expected it to be any other way. The faculty have been very responsive to my professional as well as personal needs. I have learned and grown a great deal since enrolling in the program and by taking two courses each semester, I am on track to completing the program in 35 months.”
