The Integrative Psychiatric Mental Health Concentration prepares graduates for roles as a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) and nurse practitioner (NP) in Adult Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing and holistic nurse (HN). The curriculum is designed with an emphasis on content requisite for certification by the American ANCC LogoNurses Credentialing  Center and the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Program. Students enrolled in the Integrative Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing Concentration will have experience that reflects both nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist roles associated with the specialty.

Community Health/ Public Health Dual Degree
The School of Medicine, Department of Epidemiology and Community Health, and the School of Nursing jointly created a dual-masters degree program in Public Health and Community Health Nursing. This program is designed to prepare for careers that require expertise in both public health and advanced community health nursing theories and practices. The program is designed to take advantage of efficiencies in both programs. Students enrolled in the dual-degree program can earn both degrees in two years of full-time study. Part-times study is also available.
