Abstract

A lack of nurses with masters degree preparation on Guam resulted in a contract with Washington State University to deliver its graduate program to Guam. Faculty who taught the first of four consecutive summer sessions identified many issues in transporting themselves and a total program 6,000 miles away from the home campus. The authors provide suggestions for dealing with administrative, curricular, faculty, and student concerns that may help others plan international education endeavors.
