Certificate Programs

In addition to undergraduate and graduate degrees, WCU offers three certificate programs at its Biltmore Park location. Each includes courses taught by highly-experienced faculty.

Family Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate

For nurses who already hold a Master of Science in Nursing but who want to pursue FNP certification, WCU offers a Post-Master's Certificate program. The program requires 43 rather than 52 hours of coursework and does not require the clinical hours required by the degree program. LEARN MORE

WCU's Certificate in Professional and Technical Writing is designed for students who have completed their undergraduate degree in any field and who are looking to further develop their writing skills.
