Nursing Home Administration Certificate

The Graduate Certificate in Nursing Home Administration is a fully online, four-course (12 credits total) certificate program intended to satisfy the educational/academic requirements for obtaining a nursing home administrator license, covering the four core areas of Nursing Home Administrator certification: care, services, and supports; operations; environment and quality; and leadership and strategy. 

This certificate is designed for working healthcare professionals who wish to enter long-term care and those who currently work in the area and are seeking advancement but do not have the required skills. Students will develop skills necessary to become effective and compassionate leaders within long-term care facilities. Based on the location and geographic distribution of participating UW campuses in this program, the curriculum will also include significant content related to rural nursing home and healthcare issues.
