Certificate of Graduate Study in Nursing - Certificate of Graduate Study in Nursing Education

This 9-credit certificate program prepares students to teach in entry- and master's-level nursing programs in both didactic and clinical courses and engage in other professional roles such as staff development. Three required courses (3 credits each) for this certificate provide a foundation in theories of nursing education, external factors that influence nursing education, curricular models, teaching methodologies and strategies, and critical analysis of theories of learning and teaching. All courses will be offered as blended courses (some residency required). The third course has a low-residency requirement as it entails a clinical practicum with supervision by faculty and an identified preceptor for either a didactic and/or clinical experiential component.
