Graduate School Of Humanities And Social Sciences Hosts An Open House

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Celebrating 15 years of program excellence, the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) is hosting an Open House on Friday, October 24, 2003 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. This event will be held in the Alumni Hall Auditorium on NSU’s East Campus, 3100 SW 9th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Faculty will be available for both group and one-on-one discussions, providing guests the opportunity to learn in detail about the variety of interdisciplinary programs offered at SHSS. The school awards graduate certificates, master's, and doctoral degrees in conflict analysis and resolution, family therapy, cross-disciplinary studies, peace studies, college student personnel administration, health care conflict resolution, family systems health care, family studies, and joint programs with the Criminal Justice Institute and the Shepard Broad Law Center.

SHSS programs address vitally important needs in human relationships, and offer training in interdisciplinary, multi-professional, and multi-cultural practices that apply to many fields. The curricula blend theory, practice, and research in convenient courses of study available in evening classes and online formats.

Additionally, two community service centers: Community Resolution Services and Brief Therapy Institute, are housed at SHSS where many graduate and post-graduate students complete their practicum training and internships. SHSS is also home to two academic journals: "Peace and Conflict Studies," and "The Qualitative Report.”
