Additional Program Details
The post-MSN certificate curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for national certification. To be eligible for certification, post-MSN students must complete the didactic and clinical requirements of the direct patient care courses, NP core courses, and the specialty track courses for the population. It is the expectation that post-MSN certificate students must master the same outcome criteria as graduate degree granting program students. This includes all clinical (500/600 hours) requirements for the specialty tracks.
