The Berkley School of Nursing offers several non-degree educational opportunities, such as certificates, minors, and prerequisite courses.
Certificates
The Post-Graduate Certificate Program allows master’s- or doctorally prepared nurses to advance their careers and pursue board certification in various Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) specializations.
Minors
While it is possible to minor while earning a BSN degree, due to the degree’s rigorous nature students must plan their coursework carefully starting from the first year. Please consult with your academic advisor to determine how you will structure your schedule.
Public Health Minor
The Public Health minor is open to students in Georgetown College, the McDonough School of Business, the School of Foreign Service, the Berkley School of Nursing, and the School of Health. This minor approaches health from an interdisciplinary perspective to promote health and well-being of all individuals, while providing students with a core knowledge of public health so they are prepared for further study and scholarship in the field.
Prerequisite Health Courses
The Berkley School of Nursing now offers fully online courses designed for aspiring health professionals who need to complete prerequisite science coursework.
Study with Georgetown’s prestigious faculty in cutting edge courses designed by expert instructional designers with 100% asynchronous instruction. Each course is completed in a seven-week structured format, giving you the flexibility you need to move closer to your career goals.
Developed in partnership with Georgetown’s Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS), every course reflects Georgetown’s commitment to academic excellence.
Other Supplementary Course Options
Georgetown University offers a selection of in-person and online summer courses that often include those required for various health disciplines.
When offered, these courses are open to all non-degree students pursuing a health-based education who need to fulfill prerequisites for nursing or other health professions. Georgetown degree students may also be eligible. For questions, please contact Jennifer Ericson.
