graduate programs in child psych and substance abuse

elkpark · Jun 29, 2005

There are (or, at least, there used to be) a handful (maybe 10 or so) of MSN programs in child psych nursing in the US (my MSN is in child psych nursing), but I hesitate to name any specific programs because I haven't kept track of which schools still have their programs. I've been in psych all of my career, and I've never heard of a nursing graduate degree specializing in substance abuse (which doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any -- I'm continually amazed at how much I don't know ...)

Hi Krissy

I did a google search on the words you used "graduate programs in substance abuse child psychology" and got a whole bunch of schools that offer programs. I'd suggest checking to see if your state university offers a program. I'm sure many schools offer it.

The schools I got were Arizona State, Pepperdine, UCLA... I'm sure that many schools across the country offer a graduate degree program in those areas.

In addition to using the words I did in google, try adding your state to the search and see what might be close to you.

Good luck!

Thank you both for your replies. I will keep looking. Krisssy
