MS—Unique Education Minor for Certificate

The College of Nursing offers students in the master’s program an option to minor in Education to prepare for a role as a nurse educator. Students who complete the minor receive a certificate at graduation. This nine­credit minor includes three courses:

  • Nurse as Educator (required of all bachelor’s and master’s students)
  • Curriculum and Program Development
  • Educational Evaluation.
    (In Educational Evaluation, students work with a preceptor to gain experience in the role of educator.)

All courses for the Education Minor may be completed in two semesters. A minimum of 6 credits must be taken at SUNY Upstate.

I went to work after earning my assoc-
iate's degree, and kept right on going to school. Courses like Nurse as Educator fit right in with what I want to do professionally. In class, not only do you develop lasting friendships with students and faculty, but it's encouraging to be around so many nurses, in all sorts of careers. "
