The program of study at Nova Southeastern University is a 54 hour credit program intended to be completed in three years. The newly revised program gives a nice foundation in the first year of core credit classes and some basic leadership classes. The second year the research methods classes are taken as the student begins the research for the dissertation. The final year the dissertation is completed along with any remaining electives.

Here is a link to the recommended course of study. I started the program in winter of 2016 as the program was converting from a 69 credit hour course to a 54 credit hour course. Some of my courses have been taken out of order due to that fact.
