Description

This course prepares students in their development of the required elements for the comprehensive exams, which precede the conduct of dissertation research. Students will formulate coherent philosophical, theoretical, conceptual, and methodological understandings in their appraisal of knowledge gained from previous coursework. Considerations for new inquiry that advance nursing science and health sciences will be explored. Conducting an effective and comprehensive review of the literature or policy analysis from conceptual and methodological perspectives will also be emphasized. This course is designed to give doctoral students opportunities to engage classmates and professors in dialogue and discussion about integrating concepts and methods into the process of research development. Students should take advantage of this opportunity to build their research community by engaging fully in class discussion with fellow students and faculty.

This course is closed for registration.
