Bridges to the Doctorate for Nursing Students
The long-term objective of this training program is to increase the pool of doctorally-prepared minority faculty members. Four specific aims are collectively designed to help master's students at partner schools (partners) prepare for doctoral study at the UIC College of Nursing (CON) by gaining appropriate scientific knowledge, research skills, and professional socialization. Enhancing the academic environment of the partner schools is also one component to achieving successful retention and transfer of master's students to the UIC CON.
