Through NSU CDA Online courses, students can prepare
to become a Child Development Associate (CDA). NSU offers three online
courses covering the six CDA Goals and 13 Functional Areas. Students
learn about the developmental needs of children from birth to age five,
and learn effective ways of providing for their early care and education.
