There are general education courses in math you may need to complete depending on your prior education.

However, mathematics is not a significant part of a career in cybersecurity, and our core cybersecurity curriculum does not include any math courses.

We have 6 start dates spread across full year-round study, resulting in start dates about every two months. Semesters last for 16 weeks (about 4 months) each.

You can view our academic calendar to see specific upcoming general start dates and other important dates to remember. We offer rolling admissions with no application deadlines.

Keep in mind start dates can vary by program and certain programs have a limited number of openings for new students. Your best bet is to contact admissions to confirm how soon you can enroll and start your new career path.

A nurse coach is a nurse who uses a structured, relationship-based coaching approach to help people identify goals, build healthier habits, and make meaningful changes that support their overall well-being. Rather than only providing instructions, a nurse coach often guides reflection, asks thoughtful questions, and helps patients become more engaged in their own health and healing.

Compared with a holistic nurse, a nurse coach is more specifically focused on the coaching process. A holistic nurse takes a broad whole-person approach to care, considering physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and relational needs. A nurse coach may work from that same holistic philosophy, but their role centers more directly on helping people create change, strengthen self-care, and strive for personal health and wellness goals. In that sense, nurse coaching can be viewed as one focused aspect of the broader concept of holistic nursing.

By completing our post master’s certificate program, you will earn a foundational education in holistic and integrative nursing methods which help you prepare for key nursing coaching certifications from the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC):

• AHNCC Nurse Coach (NC-BC)
• AHNCC Health and Wellness Nurse Coach (HWNC-BC); this certification also requires a holistic nurse certification as a prerequisite

After earning education and potentially certification, keep your job search broad, looking for listings such as “RN Health and Wellness Coach,” “Care Manager,” “Clinical Educator,” and other types of general references. Naming conventions, as well as educational/experience requirements, can vary significantly by employer in a developing nursing specialty.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not specify salary ranges for “holistic” nurses, or any different types of unique nursing specialties. Pay ranges can vary based on many factors.

Nurse practitioners earn an average salary of $132,000 per year ($63.46 per hour) in the US, according to the BLS.* Other types of APRNs can expect salary estimates in a similar general range.

MSN-prepared RNs who earn a certificate in holistic integrative nursing can increase their value to both patients and potential employers alike. Advance your education and you can potentially increase your earning potential.

Yes, nurse coaching is legitimate. It is a structured, relationship-based approach developed within nursing that focuses on helping people make meaningful changes related to health, well-being, and self-care.

The American Holistic Nursing Certification Corporation (AHNCC) strengthens the legitimacy of nurse coaching by establishing recognized standards within the profession and defining formalized certification pathways.

Nurse coaching is legitimate, but like many specialized nursing roles, its value depends on proper training, staying within scope of practice, and using evidence-informed approaches.

Yes, you can enroll part-time. We can help you design a plan to complete the program at a pace that’s right for you.

The best way to complete the program faster is to transfer all approved credit from prior college coursework. Our admissions team can help you determine how much credit you are approved to transfer. Be prepared to share all relevant documentation; you may be surprised which credits are transferable—so be sure to include everything.
