Online Graduate Certificate - Nursing Education

This is a brand new program beginning in August 2006.

If you are ready to take your Master of Science degree in Nursing to an even higher level, the Graduate Certificate - Nursing Education at Mount Carmel College of Nursing may be the program for you. This dynamic program prepares licensed registered nurses, who already have a Master of Science degree in Nursing (MSN or MS), for another exciting level of practice - the role of qualified educator in an academic or a health care setting. This certificate program builds on previous knowledge obtained in the master's of nursing program.

The graduate certificate program has two convenient options for students: the online program or the traditional, on-site program. The choice of options allows flexibility in course offerings, while meeting the personal and professional needs of students. Students can continue their academic pursuits by choosing the option that best fits their own needs. Full time students can complete the program in four semesters.
