Duquesne University School of Education offers an online statistics course each fall, GREV 510 - Statistics I. For PhD in Nursing and PhD in Nursing Ethics students, this must be completed the fall term prior to beginning your summer coursework. If you are a DNP to PhD student who has also met the required Structure of Knowledge prerequisite, you also have the option to enroll in GREV 510 during your first fall semester. To enroll in this course, please follow the special status application process.
If our GREV 510 does not meet your timeline, courses will be accepted from any accredited university with prior approval from the PhD chair. To assist applicants, our PhD faculty have identified online courses through Portage Learning and the University of Phoenix that meet the prerequisite requirements.
If you identify another course that you would like to attend in person or online, please submit the course information for approval prior to enrollment.
If you have any questions, please contact Nursing Recruiter Brian Bost at (412) 396-6539 or bostbFREEDUQUESNE.
We verify this prerequisite with two documents—your official DNP transcript and the course syllabus. You must provide both documents to meet the requirement.
Upon review of these documents, we will determine if the course prerequisite is met. If it is not met, you will be required to complete GPNG 927 Structure of Nursing Knowledge during your first Fall semester in the DNP to PhD program.
