Certificate for Advanced Study (CAS) in Nursing Education

Offered Online Only

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. The program concludes with the culminating internship, which provides over 150 hours of directed educational experiences as a nurse educator, with an emphasis on teaching.
