Earn Your Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education Online

As more and more nurse educators retire, the number of qualified nursing faculty to teach the next generation of nursing professionals shrinks. American Military University (AMU) offers a graduate certificate in nursing education designed to prepare master’s-level nurses for teaching in community colleges and universities or advancement as a clinical nurse educator.

AMU’s programs are online with 24/7 access and no set login times. At AMU, there are no entrance exams and programs start every month, so you can begin quickly and control your schedule.
