The AACN Quality Indicators (2001) serve as an important resource for the program and are used as a reference for program planning and the consideration of progress in ongoing development of the PhD Program. Thus, these indicators are also used as an organizing framework for this self-study. When the term, AACN Quality Indicators, is used in this selfstudy, it refers to the Indicators of Quality in Research-Focused Doctoral Programs in Nursing (2001). At various points in the narrative, comparisons are made with the AACN Quality Indicators. This self-study is organized in two volumes. The Volume I contains the narrative material and Volume II contains reference supporting material.en-UShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/doctoral programsself study reportsUniversity of Maryland, Baltimore.
