The program offers six options. Four nurse practitioner options include: Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult/Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, and a variation in the Family Nurse Practitioner option for BSN-prepared nurse midwives and nurse practitioners. Two additional MSN options are the Clinical Nurse Leader and the School Nurse. The MSN programs begin in the fall.

There is also a bridge sequence of courses leading to the MSN for RNs with a non-nursing baccalaureate. Three post-MSN certifications are offered: Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult/Gerontological Primary Care Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner for Specialized NPs. Post ?MSN programs begin in fall or spring, depending on the specialty track. Two new School Nurse certification programs are available which meet NJ State requirements for school nurse certification. The two programs include: The School Nurse Non-Instructional Certificate and the School Nurse Instructional Certificate. Both school nurse certificate programs have been approved by the Department of Education in the State of New Jersey. Most classes are offered during the evenings, although some required classes and activities may be offered during the day. All MSN and certificate options include clinical practicum experiences. Clinical practicum hours are during the day, usually on weekdays. Clinical experiences take place under the guidance of experienced advanced practice nurses, school nurses, clinical nurse leaders, physicians, or other advanced nursing practitioners as appropriate to the area of specialization and to the program.?
