The Post-MSN Nurse Administrator Certificate concentrates on developing knowledge and skills critical to be effective managers and patient advocates, especially as health systems face resource constraints and changes in both health care policy and patient care delivery.
The Post‐Master Certificate program allows nurses who are pursuing a graduate nursing degree or have a graduate degree in nursing to enroll in the nurse educator or nurse administrator certificate programs of study. To be considered for admission, applicants must have:
- An Master’s of Science in Nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice, or Ph.D. in Nursing from an accredited college or university with a Cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4-point scale.
- Unencumbered State of Maryland or compact state RN license.
Note: Contact the School of Nursing Enrollment Counselor if interested in enrolling in designated certificate courses while still engaged in either the MSN Nursing Leadership in Education or Administration programs of study.
