The Conway School of Nursing's Post-Graduate Certificate options allow graduate-prepared nurses to complete additional coursework necessary to be eligible for certification exams.

Our certificate programs of study vary in length based on the candidate's background. Recipients receive a certificate from the Conway School of Nursing and transcript information will document completion of certificate requirements. Students in a Conway School of Nursing Post-Graduate Certificate option are bound by all the policies and regulations for students in the BSN to DNP, including those for admission, progression, graduation, and clinical practice.

We offer 6 post-graduate certificates in the Conway School: a **Complex Healthcare Systems Administration Certificate**, a **Nursing Education Certificate**, and **5 Nurse Practitioner Certificates**.
