Doctoral Program in Nursing

Applicants to the Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing Program must have a bachelor or master’s degree in nursing and a current Registered Nurse (RN) license to be eligible for admission. Students in Path 2 are required to have a Michigan RN licensure. Application is a two part process requiring application to the College of Nursing, as well as application to Wayne State University. After an application has been received, the applicant will be sent a username and password to view the status of their application online.

Applications will be reviewed after all required materials have been received and an interview has been conducted. The interview will be scheduled after the college application, goals statement and curriculum vita have been received. Special arrangements can be made for the interview if distance is an issue. After completion of the application process, the Doctoral Program Committee will make an admission decision.


The College’s priority application deadline date is four months prior to the term of desired admission (six months for international applicants). Applications received after the priority deadline date will be considered if space and resources are available.

The Wayne State University Graduate Admissions Office Application Deadlines are listed here.
