Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Post-Master's Certificate
24.0 credits
The Post-Master's Certificate Program is offered to
those individuals who have earned a master's degree in nursing and seek
further preparation in another area of nursing. The program can generally
be completed in one year of part-time study. Transcripts will be reviewed
and course work will be determined on an individual basis.
Program of Study
All post-master’s students in Nurse Practitioner Tracks must transfer in three credits (quarter or semester) of Master’s-level Advanced Pathophysiology or Advanced Physiology, Advanced Pharmacology, and Advanced Physical Assessment. If these courses are not transferred in they must be taken at Drexel prior to the first clinical. Please see the MSN Program Coordinator for the exact schedule.
