I graduated from NSU in 2007 with an EdD in health education. I am glad the new curriculum is more research an health focused than when I was there. I finished all my coursework and dissertation in 3 years 4 months. I was focused and determined and did not want to pay continuing services fees. I set up a good relationship with my advisors and did not waste time getting things to them and returned to them. I devoted all of my non-work time to school for these 3 years and 4 months. I did school work every night and every weekend. The key for me was to build a schedule and stick to it - at least 30 minutes spent on dissertation every single day (whether it was reading it with a new set of eyes, updating the lit review with new research, editing, or whatever). I also got a private editor familiar with NSU - cost me $1,000 but probably saved a few months of back and forth editing (and continuing dissertation fees). I think education is what you make of it. Some in my classes couldn't write better than a 12 year old and I am sure the program weeded them out already. I am proud of my education. I have a great job in my field with the federal government, make excellent money, am published in peer reviewed journals, and adjunct instruct for another school.

I am a current Nova student, if you need a an education where you could learn from the professors and class mates, this is the wrong school for you. Most of the professors are concern about their credentials than helping the students learn. Pretty building for nothing
