Some of my experience with applying because I found it too difficult to get any information on the program. I was starting to think it was top secret.
1. I called an advisor to ask if they had a PMHNP program online and was told no.
2. I called again and got a different advisor who said yes. It is in fact fully online (as far as I know but I never actually started).
3. I applied to the program and got in with ease.
4. I attended a 4-hour orientation where I was told we cannot do clinicals where we work (This was later clarified and was not true. I was informed by the director via email that we could do with anyone not our direct supervisor even if we work together). We were told that a few of the classes were synchronous (have to attend online during specific times and days of the week), but we would be told months in advance. I went to enroll in my first two courses and 1 of them was three hours every Wednesday. I was sure that this was not accurate because I would have been told months in advance and not as soon as I go to enroll two weeks before class starts (I had just gotten accepted). I called an advisor and was then informed that most of the core classes and specialty specific classes were synchronous. This would not work for me as I work Mon-Fri. Luckily for me I enrolled into two programs and the other one has been far more organized and helpful.
5. During orientation we were told the program would be about 3 years. The degree plan I received displayed Spring 2025-Summer 2027 full time. I was then informed that if I went part time, it would take roughly 1 more year.
6. Practicum-Clinical hours are at the end of the program.
