As employment opportunities and demands of the health care environment change, nurses at the graduate level need additional specialty education. The College of Health Professions at Wilmington University has developed options for nurses holding an earned M.S.N. degree, who seek to become a nurse practitioner for the first time or who seek another concentration as a nurse practitioner.
All candidates for any post-master’s certificate must make an application to the program as a certificate candidate and must meet the admission requirements for the M.S.N. program. Applicants will have graduate transcripts reviewed and will be advised regarding course selection. Course of study is individualized based on the type of M.S.N. held by the candidate.
Students will be eligible for APRN licensure and national certification through AANC or AANP board certification programs.
