Curriculum
The curriculum for post-graduate certificate programs are based on an analysis of the applicant's original APRN program with the curriculum requirement of the specialty area of study. From this gap analysis, specialty directors at Emory’s School of Nursing craft an individualized curriculum plan which outlines course(s) and clinical work required to complete the certificate in the APRN population focus area. In many cases, the post-graduate certificate requires one to two semesters of part-time study.
