Academics
The Yale School of Nursing has always been committed to the confluence of research, practice, and education. The faculty believes in practicing what it teaches, and teaching what it practices. As a result, students work alongside clinically active faculty members, senior nurse researchers, and experts in health care policy. The array of faculty expertise is vital to the accomplishment of the School's mission and curricular goals. This approach is unique among programs in graduate education in nursing.
The Yale School of Nursing is a vibrant, exhilarating, and rigorous place to study nursing at the graduate level. Students from diverse backgrounds meet in an environment that nurtures an appreciation for high standards and the pursuit of excellence in nursing practice.
The School offers a master's program with nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse-midwifery and nursing management, policy and leadership specialties. Students may enter the master's program with or without previous education in nursing. The Graduate Entry Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) is designed to provide graduate-level nursing education for those who hold baccalaureate degrees, but who have no previous nursing education. The GEPN is three years in length. Students who currently hold a license as a registered nurse can complete their master's education in two years. For further information see Clinical Specialties.
Post master's certification is available in six areas: acute care nurse practitioner, adult nurse practitioner, gerontological nurse practitioner, pediatric nurse practitioner, oncology nurse practitioner, and psychiatric-mental health. Application and curricular specifics for each offering are found below under Post Master's Certificates.
We launched our Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing program in the Fall of 2006 to replace the Doctor of Nursing Science Program, which was founded in 1994.
The PhD program builds on our strengths in research, scholarship, clinical practice and education by catalyzing the interplay of concepts among
these realms to develop the next generation of leaders engaging in Nursing policy and practice.
The doctoral program should be completed in four to five years of full-time study.
A full description of the program can be found here.
