Graduate Student Opportunities

Under the guidance of one of seven American Academy of Nursing fellows on our faculty and with the robust administrative support of research conducted at the school, graduate students have a supportive and productive environment to pursue the research questions that interest them.

We offer dozens of funded research projects with paid research assistant positions, as well as course credit through research practicums (for doctoral students). Visit the Faculty Research and Scholarship Interests page to consider which faculty members have research interests that align with yours and get in touch.
