PhD Program Overview

Top nurse scientists are PhD advisors

With a PhD program dating back to the early 1970s, the UIC College of Nursing was among the first institutions to promote nursing research, and we have been continually engaged in discovery since that time. Our faculty investigate health concerns affecting cells, individuals, communities and health systems. Your ideal PhD advisor is here.
