Certificate programs offered by the School of Nursing are post-graduate, non-degree offerings. These highly focused programs are designed to provide nurses or others with knowledge and skills to complement their advanced practice roles.
This post-professional certificate enables nurses with a previously earned MSN to complete only those courses and practicums required for eligibility to take the Adult Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist certification exam. This program is offered online.
Curriculum
Degree Requirements
The 16-credit hour post-master's certificate curriculum includes those courses required by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, both of which administer certification exams for the Adult Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist.
