Post MS Certificate
Within the master's program there are several options for nurses who already have a master's degree in nursing to seek additional education through post-master's certification programs.
Scores for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) are not required of applicants for post-master's nursing certification.
Individuals who have a master's degree in nursing may be considered for admission to a post-master's certification program in one of three areas:
-
Nurses who have a master's degree in nursing may seek preparation as a nurse practitioner in pediatrics, adult health, women's health, family health, or acute care.
-
Nurses who have a master's degree in nursing may seek preparation in Nursing Health Systems Management.
-
Nurses who have a master's degree in nursing with a clinical specialty area may seek preparation in nursing education.
