| Occupational Health Nursing Certificate |
|
|
A formal certificate program in Occupational Health Nursing
is offered by the Occupational Health Nursing Program, within the Public Health
Leadership Program, School
of Public Health. Based on a marketing survey, OHNs have
expressed interest in more formal education in occupational health nursing
beyond continuing education but may not be ready to enter a master’s degree
program.
The certificate program is designed to strengthen the knowledge and expertise of registered nurses (RNs) working in occupational health wherever they may practice – in the United States and/or internationally – through existing Internet/Blackboard courses that are currently available in the Public Health Leadership Program. The Occupational Health Nursing Certificate is an academic program of study. Students take 11-12 credits in coursework that has been specially developed for distance education. All credits earned are completely transferable (for 10 years) as part of the requirements for the completion of the OHN Concentration MPH degree. Students will be able to register, receive materials, interact with faculty, order books, and successfully complete this program while only traveling to campus once. A connection to the Internet is all that is required! The application deadline for the fall semester is April 1. Please note there are limited spaces available in the program. Applying early will provide a better opportunity for admission. Partial tuition assistance available. |
