Description
With the growing shortage of nursing faculty in the U.S., the online Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Education - Nursing Education degree form Capella University is an ideal program for any individual who is looking for a flexible option of developing the skills that are needed for obtaining a position within any nursing education program.

This is an ideal online nursing education program for those individuals who are looking to obtain and succeed in an advanced faculty or leadership position within a higher-education institution, which includes nurses currently working in health care delivery who want to share their knowledge of nursing.
During the course of this online nursing education program, students will participate in three one-week colloquia at specific stages that will provide them with the knowledge and insight and that will be valuable during their doctoral studies and beyond.
Graduates of this online nursing degree program will have the knowledge that is needed for meeting the expanding demand for individuals with a doctoral level understanding of nursing.
All applicants must have a Master's degree (or its foreign equivalent) from a regionally accredited or internationally recognized institution and a graduate GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or its equivalent from an international institution.
