Master of Nursing in Nursing Education- Online

This online program is designed for the bachelor's-prepared nurse who is interested in pursuing a career as either faculty in a school of nursing or staff educator in a healthcare organization. The core curriculum prepares students to apply best practices in teaching and learning with opportunities to explore the state of science technologies for high-fidelity simulation and online instruction. Coursework includes an individualized, focused teaching practice guided by experienced faculty, allowing students to pursue their interests in a variety of teaching and learning environments. A major strength of this program is its linkage with the nationally known, innovative Oregon Consortium Nursing Education (OCNE) curriculum in the undergraduate program.

The program starts in the fall and is available for full or part-time progression. Courses are primarily online with face-to-face intensives scheduled in some classes.

The curriculum is tailored to each student's specific learning interests and needs. Besides completing core education courses, students choose a clinical population focus from one of three areas: adult gerontological nursing, community health nursing, or psychiatric mental health nursing.
