Salve Regina awarded 11 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) and two Doctor of Nursing (DNP) degrees to candidates during the graduate commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 5. These included students in the doctoral humanities program, the new doctoral program in international relations, and the doctoral nursing program.

Doctoral candidates in the low-residency humanities program examined the interdisciplinary question, “What does it mean to be human in an age of advanced technology?” This philosophical exploration interweaved humanities and technology, a relationship that captures society’s attention now more than ever.

For the international relations program, Salve Regina has developed the nation’s first online doctoral program in international relations. This program provides flexible learning options for seasoned professionals and examines the complex questions of international affairs in the 21st century.

Finally, the fully online doctoral nursing program provides education in evidence-based practice, quality improvement and systems thinking, preparing graduates for leadership roles as advanced practice nurses, managers of quality initiatives, executives in health care organizations, directors of clinical programs and faculty responsible for clinical program delivery and teaching.
