More about the online program

The online Advanced Population Health Nursing (APHN) program is a distance-based online master's degree for registered nurses who wish to practice in Hawaiʻi, on the continental U.S. or in an international setting.

The program focuses on population-level health, wellness, social determinants of health, health promotion and disease prevention. Coursework is completed online and fieldwork is conducted in the student's own local community.

The 30-credit program is designed to be completed in one year as a full-time student or in two years as a part-time student. Students complete a six-credit capstone project that includes 270 hours of fieldwork experience. The capstone project is designed to provide students with experience in the indirect care level of service at the aggregate population, organizational or systems level. There is an additional nine-credit thesis option.

The deadline to apply to the online APHN program is March 1. Visit this website for the application page. There is a free online info session on February 20 (click here for more).
