Hear from an Alum!
“I am a better leader because of my education at the University of Pittsburgh in the Doctoral Program.
Not only did it prepare me academically by challenging me through key academic courses that allowed me to build my nurse leader competencies. It also connected me to like-minded, engaged, excited, and enthusiastic leaders from across the country.
What makes the Pitt program unique is not only the way it academically prepares you to come out as a polished and educated executive leader, but the amazing support and guidance that is provided by the faculty and advisors. It's a circle of support that is unmatched.”
