PhD in Health Sciences

Seton Hall University's Ph.D. in Health Sciences program is distinguished by its interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary approach to graduate study. The program is unique and forward-thinking in that it develops academicians, scholars, and managers who, in turn, prepare future professionals, leaders, and innovators across the healthcare continuum. Thus, impacting not just one student but generations of students, reaching across professions and diving deep within diverse sociodemographic communities. By design, the Ph.D. employs a strong foundation in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research approaches and associated methodologies, the development of critical thinking and scholarly argumentation skills, persuasive writing skills, evidence-based health care practice and management, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. The curriculum leads to the development of scholars who appreciate the tenets of "team science" and can join in the development of ongoing scholarship needed to advance person-centered health care. The program emphasizes student-focused research, allowing participants to select projects aligned with their specialized tracks. This fosters deep expertise and positions graduates as knowledge brokers and change agents within the medical field.
