Individuals who have a master's degree in nursing may be considered for admission to a post-master's certification program in one of three areas:
  1. Nurse Practitioner
    in pediatrics, adult health, women's health,  family health, or acute care
  2. Nursing Health Systems Management
  3. Nursing Education
    nurses who have a master's degree in nursing with a clinical specialty area

Scores for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) are not required of applicants.

If a student in one of the certification options is practicing as an advanced practice nurse and is currently credentialed by the Texas Board of Nursing as an advanced practice nurse, the advanced pathophysiology, pharmacotherapeutics, and advanced assessment courses may be up to 15 years of age when the student enters the certificate program.
