Educational programs are the main part of any educational system and the Community Health Nursing Period is a period of training for the most important and influential health professionals. To identify the strengths and weaknesses of the existing curriculum, this study was conducted to compare Community health Nursing Master's Education Program in Iran and John Hopkins School of Nursing. Materials & Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was carried out in 2018, data were collected by searching the internet with the keywords of nursing, community health nursing, curriculum, Iran, America, and with a review of the history and details of the community health nursing master's education program in Iran and the Johns Hopkins nursing school. Comparison was made using Bereday’s fourstage model: description, interpretation, Juxtaposition and comparison. Results: The Public health nursing master's education program in the United States was presented in three separate branches and only Learning Strategies were common between Iranian universities and Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. However the definition of the field, the conditions and the manner of admission in the course, the job status of the graduates, philosophy, vision, mission, general purpose, roles of graduates and the subjects of the master's degree in nursing education were different.
