There are two options for this certificate program:
If you have already earned your Bachelor of Science in Nursing, do not want to earn your Master of Science in Nuring, but you'd like to qualify to practice as a nurse educator, this certificate program is for you. Successful graduates will be qualified to teach at the community college level.
NOTE: You could earn your Master of Science in Nursing degree with an Advanced Nurse Educator concentration within 2 years. Check out the 39 credit hour MSN program here.
