Winston-Salem State University and Duke University's Bridge to the Doctorate Program.

Abstract

To address the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in research-focused nursing doctoral programs, Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) Division of Nursing has partnered with Duke University School of Nursing to establish a Bridge to the Doctorate program. This program provides a research honors track for graduate nursing students from underrepresented minority groups who are enrolled at WSSU, with the aim of preparing them to seamlessly transition into a PhD program at Duke University.
