Students who successfully complete this program are eligible to sit for board exams and earn a certification to be licensed to practice as an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP) from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

Post-Baccalaureate/Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education

Salem State's post-baccalaureate certificate in nursing education is designed for registered nurses with a bachelor’s degree in nursing who would like to become nurse faculty, clinical faculty, or professional development educators. The program is offered entirely online.
