Dual Majors, Minors and Certificates

Some Cedar Crest nursing students pursue a minor or double major. The most common double majors are nursing/psychology and nursing/art therapy. You may minor in virtually any subject; the most common choices are psychology, art therapy and business.

You can also expand your knowledge and employment opportunities by completing a certificate program in addition to your nursing degree. Cedar Crest offers certificates in:
