Graduates are employed by programs that provide services to individuals living with serious mental illnesses. These include assertive community treatment (PACT) teams, case management programs, partial care programs, supported employment programs, and supported housing programs. The Bachelor of Science program can be the first or second step of the career ladder in psychiatric rehabilitation education offered by Rutgers SHRP.

At the partner school they complete the requirements for a psychology major and finish general education requirements for a total of 120-133 credits. The number of required credits depends on the partner school’s requirements, for example the joint program with Kean University requires a total of 124 credits.

Students who do not have the ASPSRT degree enter the program during their sophomore or junior year at the partner school. At SHRP, they complete core courses (21 credits) in psychiatric rehabilitation, a 12 credit practicum sequence, and a minimum of 12 credits of electives in upper level psychiatric rehabilitation courses.
