PMHNP Programs

A 3 credit graduate class will not take 3 weeks and if you find this at a school it's a red flag that it's a diploma mill.

There is no accelerated PMHNP program. It will be a minimum two years, and in many cases three years.

Thanks for your input.  I am not looking for an accelerated program, just one that runs classes consecutively rather than concurrently during a semester, if one exists.  If not, I would happily take suggestions on what you consider to be top programs to look into.

If online stick with well known schools, such Johns Hopkins, George Washington, Vanderbilt, Duke, Columbia, Frontier.

Also try your local state school.

Stay away from diploma mills: Chamberlain, Walden, Phoenix. They graduate about 2,000+ NPs every year with self-guided modules and they basically find their own clinical sites. There's no quality control for entrance or exit. Over time as the market saturates it will be a black mark on your resume.

LaSalle University does 7 week classes.

Maryville University starts out with you taking one 3 cr./8 wk course followed by another and then you jump into 6 cr./16 wk courses, if that helps.
