The Doctor of Nursing Science (D.N.S.) program provides highly motivated nurses with the knowledge and research skills necessary to assume leadership roles in health care and effect change in the type and quality of care for patients. The capstone professional degree, UB's D.N.S. program is a research-focused degree that emphasizes the application of research to clinical practice, and role development in education, research, and policy leadership. D.N.S. students develop a research focus under the guidance of their advisor — the faculty member whose research specialty coincides with the student's research interest — to plan a course of study that will facilitate investigation of the selected topic and dissertation writing. Students interested in post-master's study in one of our nurse practitioner programs can pursue the advanced certificate while earning their D.N.S.
Our D.N.S. graduates are nurse scholars who can:
Heavily recruited nationwide, our graduates hold faculty positions in nursing schools across the United States and abroad, and executive administration and clinical positions in corporate hospital systems, clinics, visiting nurse agencies, and other health care organizations, including their own businesses. Curriculum The curriculum consists of a minimum of 48 credit hours beyond the masters degree. The major components of the curriculum are foundation courses, research courses, and elective courses supportive of the dissertation and professional role.
