Post - Master’s Teaching Certificate in Nursing

The Post-Master’s Teaching Certificate in Nursing (PMC) is a 12-credit graduate certificate program designed for nurses who focused on a specialty other than nursing education in previous graduate study and who now have the interest or need for teacher preparation. Built upon courses within the M.S.N. curriculum, the certificate is designed to provide students with the in-depth skills and knowledge they need to be competent and confident in nurse educator roles. Designed by faculty and nurse educator alumni, the program begins with a 1-credit course that orients participants to the “tool kit” for teaching effectiveness, and a second 1-credit course to provide them with an opportunity to observe the educator role. The final course provides mentoring in the educator role in the setting of the student’s choice.
