The Graduate Certificate Program in Advanced Practice Nursing (GCPAPN) is available to
students who have completed a graduate degree or are currently matriculated in a graduate
degree program. A minimum of 15 credits (9 graded) are required for completion of all
GCPAPN options. Some elective courses may be applied to both the certificate and a graduate
degree at the University of Washington. A GCPAPN will be awarded only to students who:
- have previously earned a master's degree or higher, or
- are being awarded a UW graduate degree in the same quarter as the GCPAPN.
Admissions criteria vary slightly based on the focus of the certificate. Some
certificate program options require an RN license and a graduate degree in nursing.
All options of the certificate program require:
- completion or concurrent enrollment in a graduate degree
- a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the last 90 quarter (60 semester) credits
