Online PhD Degree Programs – Rush University Medical Center
By onlinephd |
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago has the peculiar distinction of being older than the city that it calls home; its forerunner institution, the Rush Medical College, actually received its charter on March 2, 1837, two days before the city of Chicago was incorporated. Rush University was established in 1972 after the Medical College merged with the Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Hospital.
Today, Rush University Medical Center encompasses Rush University, a 613-bed hospital and the 61-bed Johnston R. Bowman Health Center. The University is composed of four colleges: Medicine, Nursing, Research Training and Health Sciences.
Rush University’s online PhD degree programs include Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP); both can be pursued on a part-time basis, allowing candidates to continue full-time employment while working on their doctorate. PhD in nursing graduates will perform as nurse-scientists with research skills, while DNP graduates are doctorally prepared nurses.
Admission to online PhD degree programs for either of the two degrees requires candidates to be either a graduate of a four-year degree course; or be a registered nurse with an associate degree in nursing, a Master’s degree in nursing or a baccalaureate degree in a field other than nursing or with an upper division major in nursing.
Online PhD degree programs to earn a Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing will require at least 70 quarter-hours of post master’s graduate study as well as the completion of a dissertation, done full-time or part-time during a regular academic year, while the DNP program requires 42 credit-hours and will take approximately two years to complete if pursued on a part-time basis online.
