On-Campus and Distance-Accessible PhD 

The Indiana University School of Nursing PhD Program is delivered both on-campus and via distance-accessible technologies. Our program flexibility offers bachelor's and master’s prepared nurses across the country access to our PhD program through the use of in-person or online course options, video conferencing, and other emerging technologies to allow students to communicate and participate in discussions. This hybrid, distance-accessible program synchronously places you in the classroom with your classmates.  You can also choose in-person classes (if available) if you prefer to learn in a face-to-face setting.  We attempt to schedule the required PhD courses across one day each week so that students know in advance which day to plan to be available for class.  PhD students will attend two required on-campus, 4-day Intensives during the first two years of the PhD program. These Intensives are typically held in early June of the first two years of the PhD Program and give you the opportunity to interact with other students and with faculty, attend professional development sessions, meet with faculty mentors, and network during a variety of informal receptions.
