Join the 2026 Doctor of Healthcare Science Program Cohort!

The four-semester Doctor of Healthcare Science (DHSc) Program here at Pacific University will begin its next cohort on January 5, 2026.  This fully asynchronous, online program focuses on developing leadership and management skills for addressing challenges in healthcare and creating meaningful change in systems.  The fully asynchronous model allows working professionals to complete assignments when it works in their schedule. The applied action-research model of the Doctoral Research Project (DRP) culminates in a publishable manuscript rather than a dissertation to support the professional development of our graduates.  The application deadline is December 4, 2026.  Earn your doctorate in a year and half!

Please visit the Doctor of Healthcare Science Program Admissions web page for complete details.

Please contact Katie Bell with any questions you have about the program.
