Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Overview

The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Clinical Track provides graduate students and/or currently practicing Advanced Practice nurses with specialization in the care of individuals, families, and groups with mental health problems and mental disorders. 

In accordance with ANCC certification, the PMHNP clinical track offers two foci, the Adult PMHNP and the Family PMHNP.  Both foci include six graduate courses offered over three semesters of study (summer, spring, and fall), with one didactic and one practicum course each semester.  The three sets of courses are sequential and co-requisites.  This clinical track may be completed as a single or a dual major for the MSN degree or as a Post-Master’s Certificate option.

Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to apply for the American Nurses Credentialing Center for certification as an Adult or a Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
