Please submit an essay of up to 5 pages in length, double spaced, that describes your personal and professional reasons for seeking admission.

*I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. I turned my interest into getting a PhD in Psychology rather than in Nursing for a few reasons. One, I feel as if I learned about the nursing and clinical aspect of my career. Mental health is my passion and I want my education, especially my doctorate education, to be solely focused on Psychology. I would love to use the skills I learn to help advance my psychology career, incorporate psychotherapy, research, and ADHD testing (examples) into my career in the future.
