Faculty Research Interest

As an MSN student preparing to begin work on your scholarly thesis/project or a DNP student preparing to begin work on your Capstone Project, you should review the research interest of the School of Nursing faculty to assist you in deciding which faculty member would be best to serve as your advisor. Students in the DNP program are encouraged to include clinical professionals as members of their Capstone Project committee in addition to School of Nursing faculty.

Students interested in research or becoming involved in research activities may contact any faculty in the School of Nursing for information or assistance. Faculty may serve as advisors to a limited number of students.
