The post-master’s certificate allows a nurse with a prior master’s degree in nursing to expand his/her area of expertise and become academically eligible to take the certification examination appropriate to the post-master’s certificate. The course work required will be at least 12 credits and will be dependent on prior master’s course work. Programs of study are individually designed to ensure that the courses (or their equivalent) on the sample curricula listed under each specialty have been completed either in the prior master’s degree or in the post-master’s certificate.

Marquette is committed to diversity in its student population, faculty and staff. We take pride in our personalized approach with students and quality of all program offerings.
