T.R.A.N.S.I.T. at Columbia University School of Nursing Training Nurse Scientists in Interdisciplinary & Translational Research in the Underserved. Why Columbia? Who Should Apply? What are the admission requirements?

TRANSIT is a federally-funded initiative that aims to reduce health disparities in the Northern Manhattan area of New York City. TRANSIT stands for: Training Nurse Scientists in Interdisciplinary & Translational Research in the Underserved. Prompted by the growing complexity of health problems in underserved minority populations, TRANSIT’s goal is to increase the number of doctorally-prepared mino

rity nurse scientists trained to conduct interdisciplinary, practice-relevant research that benefits underserved urban communities. As one of just 18 schools of nursing in the country situated within a health sciences center, we provide an environment well-suited to interdisciplinary research. As a student here, you will have access to world-renowned researchers in the school of nursing and throughout the university. The surrounding neighborhood of Washington Heights provides a rich, culturally diverse environment in which community members and students can develop collaborations to advance science and improve the overall health of the community. Students with a minimum Bachelor of Science in Nursing who have a strong interest in conducting research with underserved populations should consider applying. Minority applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. “Minority” means an individual whose race or ethnicity is classified as American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds are also considered minority. TRANSIT applicants must fulfill the general requirements to the PhD program, including :
•Current New York State nursing license or eligibility
•GPA of at least 3.5
•Satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).
•Three strong references attesting to the applicant's academic ability and potential
•Personal goal statement that is congruent with program goals
•Graduate-level course in health and social policy (can be taken as co-requisite)
•Graduate-level biostatistics course (can be taken as co-requisite)
•Computer and information literacy


Is tuition assistance available? All students receive full tuition support and a stipend to offset the costs of education for the first two years of doctoral coursework. Support is available via several mechanisms, including teaching and/or research assistantships and grants as available. For post-bachelor applicants, other sources of financial support must be sought to complete the master's level pre-requisite courses. How long is the PhD program? The length of the program varies depending on the individual student’s course plan and dissertation project. All requirements must be completed with seven years. Most students complete the program in 3-5 years.
