University of Portland

The University of Portland's reputation for academic excellence is one of the reasons it is ranked year after year among the top ten regional universities in the West, and that translates into a degree of great worth in economic value, potential to change the world, and unimagined possibilities that expand the hearts and minds of each of our graduates.

The University's students study with some of the brightest scholars in their fields. Primarily we are a TEACHING university and it shows. Our faculty have a reputation for their love of teaching.

In all of our programs, we are educating the leaders and nurses needed for the next generation of health care. We have special academic programs and resources that include study abroad in more than a dozen countries. Nursing students are able to study for a semester in Australia and still graduate in four years. Our four year undergraduate students are able to earn a minor in several areas including Spanish and business. As a comprehensive university, we have an Honors Program for academically outstanding students, an interdisciplinary Center for Entrepreneurship, the Shepard Freshman Resource Center, services through the Office for Students with Disabilities, and Army and Air Force ROTC programs with significant scholarships.

The School of Nursing

The University of Portland School of Nursing has a proud 70-year history of educating outstanding nurses for the state and region. Our faculty has a passion for teaching and a vision for a transformed health care system of the future. The University of Portland's baccalaureate nursing program is well known in the health care community for its quality and excellent reputation. We have the oldest nationally accredited BSN program in the state of Oregon and have been preparing practitioners and leaders at the graduate level for over 25 years. Students get the special attention they need to be successful learners and practicing nurses.

Clinical sections usually have six to eight students per faculty member and students are able to form close relationships with their faculty, advisers and fellow students. We pride ourselves on our personal approach when interacting with prospective and current students. We are also proud to have a reputation for helping applicants find the program that is right for them. If we do not have the program that meets your goals, we will help you locate the program that is right for you.

We offer as our graduate program option the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL), a broad-based graduate education that prepares nurses for advanced practice roles in leadership at the point of care for clients in a variety of settings. BSN-prepared nurses are welcome to apply to earn a master's degree as a CNL. Additionally, we have implemented an RN to MS program for associate degree nurses to efficiently earn a CNL master's degree. We also offer an alternate entry master's in nursing program that enables individuals who possess a non-nursing bachelor's degree to enter nursing at the graduate level. Furthermore, we are responding to the national movement for advanced practice nurses to be prepared at the doctoral level by beginning a Family Nurse Practitioner Doctorate of Nursing Practice program in summer (May) 2008.
