Fewer than 2% of registered nurses hold a doctoral degree. Let Illinois State University help you become a pioneer and leader in research and other scholarly pursuits.
Be mentored by our doctorally prepared faculty who are experienced in research as you hone your own research skills and zero in on your chosen subject area.
No master's? No problem. Start from your BSN and finish your PhD in as little as 4 years. Supportive faculty help ensure you cross the finish line and get the most from your experience.
Balance work and family with our flexible online program. Most classes are asynchronous, too, which means no set meeting times, allowing you to define your own schedule.

As a current PhD candidate, I truly enjoy the flexibility and convenience of the online format. The ability for me to work on my coursework on my own schedule has been incredible. The PhD professors and online support are available and quick to respond to any questions.
