Methods of delivery and location:
The BSN program will be in a hybrid format with some courses taught on campus, some off campus using Zoom in a synchronous format and others taught entirely online in an asynchronous format. The program will utilize courses currently being taught in the RN-BSN program by trained and experienced online faculty. The hybrid delivery format for the nursing program will allow students greater flexibility. They will not be required to travel to the campus as often as with fully on campus programs. The blended format also allows for a larger base to acquire highly qualified faculty members. The baccalaureate degree in nursing program will be located at the College Cascade Campus at 8338 Alderwood Road, Portland, in Multnomah County. The existing location and physical resources at this campus are sufficient to meet the need of the faculty, staff, and students, and to ensure the achievement of the end-of-program student learning outcomes. The Cascade campus leases 29,000 square feet of space that is utilized for office space, seven classrooms, one computer lab, and three nursing skill laboratories, two simulation learning rooms, faculty, and staff offices. Classrooms and skill laboratories are adequate for the number of students scheduled to attend classes at any given time. There is also space available for students to study or take breaks in. There are adequate resources available for the nursing faculty, including workstations, printers, phones, and copiers allow for an effective workflow process. The College maintains enrollment numbers that do not exceed classroom space available. Adequate space is available to meet privately with students regarding concerns related to the program. III-A The curriculum is developed, implemented, and revised to reflect clear statements of expected student outcomes that: • are congruent with the program’s mission and goals; • are congruent with the roles for which the program is preparing its graduates; and • consider the needs of the program-identified community of interest.
