Master's Curriculum: Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse NP

Announcement

Effective January 2025: The University of Rochester School of Nursing is proud to announce the launch of its redesigned Nurse Practitioner (NP) curriculum across all specialties, effective January 2025. The updated programs offer more flexible learning formats for working nurses and reflect evolving national standards. The new curriculum will impact new and current students graduating after Spring 2026.

NP coursework will continue to be offered in an online or hybrid format, with select hybrid courses utilizing the state-of-the-art simulation and skills lab spaces at Helen Wood Hall. Students will be required to visit campus for several on-campus intensives to help strengthen clinical competencies and connect students with faculty and peers.
