LEWISTON - The Idaho State Board of Education gave its approval for Lewis-Clark State Collegeâs proposal to offer a graduate certificate in Nursing Management and Leadership during its virtual meeting Thursday.
The approval marks another milestone for the college as it seeks to introduce its first graduate offering in school history. In March, Governor Brad Little signed House Bill 395 which officially amended Idaho Code, allowing LC State to offer graduate level coursework. Since then, the college has been busy developing this certificate.
âLC State is making history as it continues to look for ways to better serve students, industry and Idaho,â LC State President Cynthia Pemberton said. âOn behalf of the college and the many nursing professionals who stand to benefit from this certificate, I thank everyone involved in its development, the State Board for its unanimous support, and, of course, I again thank the Idaho Legislature and Gov. Little for making all of this possible.â
