The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) online Certificate program prepares individuals for the regulatory and business principles of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health services, and other long-term care services. The certificate content consists of courses required for the state of Minnesota licensure and preparation for the National Association of Nursing Home Administrator Board (NAB) exam to become a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA). The certificate courses reside within the Health Management program, accredited by the Minnesota Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators (BENHA). Every state requires nursing home administrators to be licensed. Minnesota and most other states require candidates to have at least a Bachelor's degree, prior to or during the completion of the required certificate courses. Once licensed, individuals are qualified to lead organizations in the field of long-term care (LTC) services. During the online coursework, students will also be required to successfully complete an internship, or practicum, for experiential learning and aspects of regulatory and leadership education not always or consistently included in the courses. The internship will occur in the areas of a skilled nursing home (primarily), assisted living, and other LTC services and supports. The site will be approved by faculty prior to commencing the internship. Application to the certificate program is required along with completion of a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher learning as demonstrated by a transcript or in tandem with the completion of a degree from the University of Minnesota schools with a minimum 2.8 GPA Candidates with coursework completed within a maximum of a four-year/twelve semester timeframe. A Bachelor or Master’s degree obtained greater than seven years requires evidence of continued competency such as work experience or continuing education.
