Post MSN Certificate
The College of Nursing
The UMSL College of Nursing was established in 1981 with the initiation of a BSN completion program. A full BSN program including an accelerated option for non-nurses, MSN programs and academic and professional doctoral programs were established by 2000. UMSL is the only public institution in the St. Louis metropolitan area that offers baccalaureate through doctoral nursing education. The College enjoys a mutually beneficial relationship with the region’s health services providers – our community of interest.

Post MSN Certificates in Nursing
Nurses who already have a MSN are eligible to take coursework to achieve a post MSN certificate in nursing education or an area of advanced nursing practice. At the end of the program, nurse practitioner students are eligible to take the examination for certification in any of our specialty areas. Post-master’s curricula focus on the “core” MSN and the track-specific content for the role. Length of program depends on the student’s previous academic coursework and the student’s proposed advanced practice role.
