The College of Nursing and Department of Public Health – College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences jointly offer a graduate certificate in health policy to prepare nursing and public health leaders, researchers, and educators to be active in all aspects of policymaking relative to health. The certificate program is designed to build upon and expand concepts from core courses of the curriculum of each discipline’s Master’s degree programs and the previous experiences and interests of students. Certificate candidates must currently be admitted to a graduate program at the university or hold a terminal degree and be a graduate student in good standing and comply with all other applicable academic policies. Course experiences will foster the examination and application of current policy research and the development of skills related to policy analysis, research, program evaluation, and advocacy.
