Offered in a Hybrid Format
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 Family Nurse Practitioner to registered nurses who already possess both baccalaureate and master’s degrees in nursing from accredited programs.
Admission requirements for these post-master’s certificate programs 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 faculty realize that students in the post-master’s certificate programs will come with a variety of backgrounds and experience. Students will need to meet with an adviser early in the course of study to determine specific clinical needs. Every effort will be made to provide students with both necessary and desired clinical experiences.
