Program Description

Students who are eligible for the California School Nurse Services Preliminary Credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and who meet the graduate program admission criteria may apply to the program. Admission criteria and procedures are similar to those for the MS program except the application and recommendation forms are directed to the School Nurse Program Coordinator. Students are held to the same professional liability and automobile insurance and health requirements as MS students.

Program Requirements

In addition to the above courses, the Professional Credential for MS candidates requires two years of full-time school nurse experience (or its part-time equivalent).
