Five Options to Boost Your Skills.
In addition to a range of concentrations, Alvernia University offers five certificate options for those interested in enhancing their skills in a specific area. Plus, if you decide to earn your master’s degree, you’ll already have some of the major course work completed and may be able to apply the credits from the certificate program to your graduate degree.
Start by choosing a graduate certification from one of the university's six graduate certification programs. The school offers the following certifications:
- Early Childhood (Grades Pre K-4) Teaching Certification
- School Nurse Certification - Post Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
- Secondary (Grades 7-12) Teaching Certification
- Special Education Certification (Classroom and Online Formats Available)
- Principal Certification
