Program Description


The associate of science (A.S.) degree program at Rutgers School of Health Professions (SHP) is one of the few model programs of this type throughout the nation and the first undergraduate degree-granting program in this field in New Jersey.

The A.S. in psychosocial rehabilitation program prepares students to facilitate the recovery of people living with mental illnesses. In the classroom, students will learn from faculty with many years of clinical and research experience. Students will also gain hands-on experience in Clinical Practicum courses by interning at a community mental health program under the supervision of program faculty and agency staff.

Graduates of the program are eligible to take the credentialing examination from the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association to become Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioners (CPRP).
