A New Ph.D in Nursing Program from St. Paul University

St. Paul University - Manila is now the 4th higher educational institution in the ocuntry that is offering a doctorate in nursing. The other schools are UP College of Nursing, Silliman University and St. Paul University - Tuguegarao.

What is so special in SPU Manila's program is its emphasis on nursing education. Its prolific faculty members include Dr. Annabelle Borromeo (PhD Nursing from Texas Women's University), Dr. Letty Kuan, Dr. Roberto Borromeo, among others.

Another special treat is its flexibility to deliver the program anywhere in the country if there are 15 enrolled participants as well as its distance learning mode. Instead of planning to enroll in Cebu, one can have it one closest location. It can also admit MN degree holders (meaning those without a master's thesis) to this program.

So this is, in fact, a good choice for now.

Interested parties may get in touch with Dr. Aldrin Darilag, SPU Manila Graduate School Director by visiting its website http://www.spumanila.edu.ph/
