Make the most of your credits
If you plan to take more than three courses, consider pursuing a graduate certificate in public health.
Some certificates can be obtained with just four or five courses. Or keep the momentum going by pursuing your public health degree in a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral program or health administration degree in a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral program.
Your graduate certificate can stand alone to demonstrate your specialized knowledge, but because each certificate program is comprised of master’s- doctoral-, or bachelor’s-level courses, you can apply the credits you earn to a degree program in the same area.³
³A maximum of three courses taken as a Capella nondegree student can be applied to a subsequent Capella degree program.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify with education institution(s) that these course(s) will fulfill transfer credit or admissions requirements into an advanced practice nursing program.
Capella University cannot guarantee licensure, endorsement, other professional credential, or salary advancement. State licensing regulations and professional standards vary; learners are responsible for understanding and complying with the requirements of the state in which they intend to work.
