Designed for nurses holding an MSN degree or higher who seek to become nurse practitioners or to specialize their areas of expertise, this CCNE-accredited nurse practitioner program prepares you for APRN licensure and board certification.
This affordable nurse practitioner graduate certificate couples rigorous academics with the flexibility working RNs need. Practicum experiences are spread over a few semesters in the latter half of your program of study, providing advance notice for your scheduling needs.
As employment opportunities and demands of the health care environment change, nurses at the graduate level need additional specialty education.

Further, the Family Nurse Practitioner concentration offers streamlined options for certified Adult NPs, Pediatric NPs, and Women’s Health NPs to gain their Family NP certificate without repetitive coursework.
Please note: The Post-Master's Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certificate option requires the prospective student to be board-certified as a Family NP prior to acceptance into the program. This certificate program also has its own PMHNP Admission process.Our faculty are experienced, active nurses and health care practitioners who understand the challenge of balancing shift work, family and advanced studies. Their rich and diverse experience in today’s complex health care environment keep this program on the leading edge of healthcare practice.
