This graduate certificate program aims to equip educators for instructional roles in higher education and clinical environments. The coursework emphasizes foundational teaching theories, effective instructional methods, educational technologies that enhance learning, and assessment of educational results in healthcare contexts. Note: This program follows a cohort-based learning model
The Nurse/Health Educator certificate accepts applications on a continuing basis, but the course sequence is offered within a cohort model. Once a completed applicant file is received by the Nursing Department, the applicant will be notified to schedule
an admission interview, if required. Students admitted to another nursing graduate program (MSN or DNP) do not
require an admission interview.
Applicants for admission to the Nurse/Health Educator Certificate are evaluated on the basis of the following criteria:
1. Qualify for graduate academic standing, including possession of an undergraduate degree from a regionally-accredited institution with an overall undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
2. Satisfactory score on the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) for applicant with less than 3.25 undergraduate grade point average.
3. Two completed recommendation letters from professional associates.
4. Current resume.
5. Current employment status: significant work experience provides a basis for achievement of graduate course objectives. It is recommended that students have professional work experience prior to and/or concurrent with enrollment in the specialty.
This will be addressed at the admission interview.
6. Admission interview with the lead faculty for the Certificate.
7. Criminal background clearance.
