Long-Term Care Administration (CERT)
The Undergraduate Certificate in Long-Term Care Administration provides multidisciplinary perspectives and coursework which culminates in a professional practicum experience. Students engaging with this certificate typically expect to enter careers in long-term care administration in skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes or rehabilitation facilities. Most students will also take both the Minnesota and federal nursing home administrator license exams once all coursework is completed.
This program no longer qualifies students to sit for the licensure exam in the state of Minnesota. Students who have an interest in the program or signed up for the program in the 2022-2023 academic year should contact Luis Posas as the Aging Studies Coordinator at the following email address: luis.posas@mnsu.edu
