A Post-Graduate Nurse Practitioner (NP) Certificate builds upon an existing Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to expand and enhance the knowledge and skills of the applicant in a specific clinical nursing major to manage the health and care of their patients.
FIU Graduate Nursing offers post-graduate certificate programs in the same clinical specialties as our Nurse Practitioner program tracks:
- Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (Online program*)
- Family Nurse Practitioner (Hybrid program)
- Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (Online program*)
- Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Hybrid program)**
*Students in the online tracks will be allowed to complete clinicals outside of our long-standing clinical areas of Monroe County, Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. However, it is the student’s responsibility to identify the clinical site and work with our clinical department to help establish a contract with the clinical partner BEFORE any clinical rotation can begin.
**Please note the Psychiatric Mental Health NP track deadline is February 15th as students approved in the 1-year plan will need to be admitted for the Summer semester to take Psychopharmacology before they begin clinicals in the Fall semester.
