Application Process
The application process for the Nursing PhD program consists of two steps, both of which must be completed.
Step 1: Begin by clicking the "Apply to the College of Nursing" button. Create an account on the NursingCAS website and follow the instructions to apply to the U of A's Nursing PhD program. It is important to complete this step first, as you will need information from this application for the subsequent step.
Step 2: After completing the first step, click the "Apply to Graduate Admissions" button to set up an account. Once your account is created, you can start the second part of the application process for graduate admissions. The Nursing PhD program is listed as “Nursing (PhD)” within this application.
