Post Master's Nursing Certificate

Certificate Programs

In addition to the Post-Master’s Certificate for Nurse Practitioners, the SON offers three graduate certificates in Nursing Education, Evidence-Based Practice, and Health Care Leadership Management. Each certificate is nine (9) semester credit hours and consists of two or three graduate courses.

Requirements for Admission:

1. Admission to the graduate school as a certificate student and approval of the Assistant Dean for Graduate Education in the School of Nursing.
2. During the application process, students will be asked to enter a code identifying major or certificate they wish to complete.
3. The code for each of the certificates is listed after the title below.
4. The code for the Post-Master’s Certificate as a Nurse Practitioner is PMSN; in addition, Nurse Practitioner applicants will be asked to choose a concentration. (See the Nurse Practitioner major, above.)

Grade Requirement: Students must earn a B or better in each of the three courses (two courses in the Evidence-Based Practice Certificate) in order to earn the Graduate Certificate. Single courses can be taken for elective credit; however, the certificate is granted only on completion of the nine-hour sequence.
