The Post-Graduate Certificate educates nurses in an additional specialty area: adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner (AGACNP), family nurse practitioner (FNP), or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP).
The curriculum integrates nursing, science, concepts and theories from related disciplines, along with practice and research. The number of credits and time to complete the certificate are dependent of the specialty area.
Each certificate is offered in a hybrid format consisting of online courses and clinical courses supplemented with minimal on-campus meetings.
We are currently accepting applications via NursingCAS on a rolling basis.
For more information on any of the Post-Graduate Nursing Certificates please contact Chad Oppelt, coppelt@css.edu, schedule a meeting or (877) 287-8719.
The College of St. Scholastica's Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and APRN Certificate programs are approved as advanced practice nursing programs by the Minnesota Board of Nursing.
