Graduate degrees in gerontological nursing
The OHSU School of Nursing offers several degrees for geriatric care and gerontological research. You may apply for a Master in Nursing Education (M.N.E.), Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) doctorate, or a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in gerontological nursing. Each has an opportunity for financial support through scholarship or award.
Our Hartford Center of Gerontological Excellence is committed to scholarship that develops nurse leaders and delivers the specialize care required for the unique health care needs of older adult populations.
Through two OHSU Foundation endowments we are able to award financial support to advanced practice nursing students who demonstrate a commitment to careers in gerontological nursing education, practice, and research.
