Post-Graduate Certificate Clinical Nurse Educator

Why Choose Our Program?
The Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE) Post-Graduate Certificate (PGC) allows you to take your graduate nursing education to the next level. Students completing this specialization will experience a focused curriculum, and leave the program with a preparedness to focus on adult education in either staff development or continuing education in a healthcare agency, or higher education, teaching nursing students.
If you do not have a master's degree or would like to study Clinical Nurse Education in greater depth, you may be interested in our Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) Clinical Nurse Educator degree program.
