Degree Requirements
A Post-Graduate Certificate in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner is available to students who possess an MSN or DNP degree and who wish to focus in this specific area of advanced practice nursing and nursing education. All students are required to complete core courses for their selected area of study and may be required to take additional courses at the graduate level based on their gap analysis.
Once the gap analysis is complete, students will be issued a Plan of Study specific to their level of preparation. The Post-Graduate Certificate program is then lock-step, which means students must complete the coursework as specified in their Plan of Study and must successfully complete the courses in each semester to progress to the next. Questions related to degree requirements should be directed to the appropriate Associate Dean or Program Director, or staff member in the OSS.
