Admissions process
Applications to the Public Health Core Concepts Regents Certificate apply through SOPHAS.

We offer seven Regents Certificate Programs in Public Health. These are non-degree programs designed for working health and human services professionals with little or no formal public health education, who wish to develop skills and knowledge in a specific area of public health.
We also offer a nontraditional licensure program for people who want to get licensed as a nursing home administrator or are seeking a career as a long term care manager.
