Want to Learn More?
At Cedar Crest College, we see you furthering your education to fill a critical need in nursing. Combining Cedar Crest College’s long history of excellence in both Forensic Science and Nursing, our Certificate in Forensic Nursing will prepare you to improve healthcare outcomes when caring for victims of crime, abuse, or disasters without inflicting additional trauma associated with improper examination, evidence collection and preservation. No matter where you work as a nurse, the skills learned in this program can be applied to better advocate for your patients. For those taking the graduate certificate option, a portion of your clinical hours may apply to your CCC MSN degree.
This program is delivered online and asynchronously (with an on-campus immersion experience). The 7-week accelerated format of the courses allows you to complete the certificate in as little as 9 months over the fall and spring semesters.
