The Department of Nursing & Health Professions is authorized by the New York State Education Department to offer a post-master’s Certificate for Advanced Study in Nursing Education to registered nurses who already possess both baccalaureate and master’s degrees in nursing from accredited programs.
Admission requirements for the post-master’s certificate program are the same as for the department’s MS nursing program except applicants must have a minimum 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) for all graduate level work completed.
The Program focuses on the specialty courses in curriculum development, instructional methodologies, measurement and assessment and evaluation approaches; and includes the cognate course of grant writing.
