About this directory
Nurse Doctorate Programs catalogs 183 doctoral nursing programs across 41 countries. Every record is compiled from institutions' official program pages (CCNE, ACEN, COA, and international accreditation bodies) and refreshed as programs update. The directory is independent, free for prospective students, and operated by Global Cyber Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
Filter by degree type — DNP, PhD in Nursing, professional doctorate, dual degree. Filter by delivery format — online, hybrid, on-campus. Filter by GRE policy — required, optional, or not required. Filter by specialization — FNP, PMHNP, CRNA, leadership, informatics, and more. Filter by accreditation — CCNE, ACEN, COA, and international bodies. The URL reflects every filter you set, so any search you build is shareable and bookmarkable.
Each program detail page links directly to the program's own application URL on the universities's website — we do not stand between you and the source. intake dates, salary ranges, and prerequisites are filled in by program director / graduate admissions office who claim their listing; where they have not, the page shows "Not yet provided" honestly rather than fabricating data. If you spot something out of date, every program detail page has a "Spot something wrong? Tell us" link that opens a one-screen correction form. An admin reviews each correction within a few business days.
