Graduate Embedded Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Nursing Education

Nursing education requires educators who are not only proficient in clinical knowledge and skill but who are also knowledgeable and informed about the process of teaching and learning. The completion of this embedded certificate would reflect the acquisition of the relevant knowledge and skills required to teach in the discipline of nursing. At a glance, this certificate would thus allow for instant recognition of formal preparation in teaching and learning.

Students admitted to either the Master of Nursing or PhD (Nursing) Program may choose to focus on the practice of teaching and learning within the context of nursing education. Students who declare this choice at the beginning of their graduate program will be required to register in and successfully complete the three graduate level courses (NURS 546 , NURS 556 , NURS 586 ) focused on teaching and learning in higher education for nursing. Upon successful completion of the graduate program, inclusive of the designated teaching and learning courses, the student will be awarded the Graduate Embedded Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Nursing Education in addition to their graduate degree. The Graduate Embedded Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Nursing Education will be noted on the student’s transcript.
