What certification exams do students take? What is your first-time pass rate?
Our programs are intended to provide students with the opportunity to acquire the educational eligibility to meet standards for NE certification or other professional distinctions through examination. A list of examinations and their credentialing bodies appears later in this document. On average, 95% of graduates pass the certification exam on the first attempt.
How long is the program?
30 credit hours and takes up to 2 years to complete.
How many hours do I take per semester? Is this a full-time program?
Most students take 2 fifteen-week courses each semester for 5-9 total credits. Students can take fewer courses but it will take longer to complete their program. The definition of a full-time program can differ among financial aid or tuition reimbursement programs and you will want to check with that particular program’s administrator.
Is the program completely online?
The programs combine online education and in-person education. Students take their courses through an online- format and are only expected on campus for the required On-Campus Intensives. Software applications utilized in nursing classes will work on either PCs or MACs. Office 365 Pro Plus is required and is now available at no charge to Ohio University students.
What are On-Campus Intensives?
The On-campus Workshop for our Nurse Educator students is a 1-2-day workshop and conference as part of preparing and presenting their final project.
