The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy offers a Nursing Home Administration (NHA) Certificate in conjunction with the public health major. The NHA Certificate reduces the number of post-graduate hours required, and covers much of the material necessary for students to prepare for the state licensing examination.
Students seeking NHA Certificates must apply to the public health major at Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Once admitted as a student in good-standing to the Bloustein School, students will work with an adviser to plan for completing both the public health major and the NHA Certificate requirements. The NHA Certificate is only awarded with, or subsequent to, earning a bachelor of science degree.
