We know many of our students are already engaged in work in the field of national security and this may preclude them from participating in residential classes. Therefore, the program is designed in two modalities: online or hybrid format. Students applying to the hybrid M.S. in National Security Affairs and International Relations must register for a minimum of 3 credits of campus-based coursework each fall and winter. NSA students are not required to attend Residential Institutes (RI) on the Fort Lauderdale campus. However, they are encouraged to attend and participate in the event. Currently the RIs are held in February and late September/October. Please visit https://cahss.nova.edu/ri/index.html for current information. Students may enroll full or part time, taking six to nine credit hours per term. Students who enroll in nine credits per term may complete the program in four terms. Part-time students can complete the program in 2 years. Unless requesting a Leave of Absence, all students must register for three terms per year. Degree Plans and Student Advising In the NSA program it is essential for a student to seek advice regarding course selection and their degree plan. They are expected to keep in periodic contact with the department chair or director of graduate programs, as well as the staff of the department . Students in the NSA program work closely with the department in designing appropriate individual degree plans for the successful completion of the program. Degree plans are designed and modified based on a student’s enrollment date, pace of study and the scheduling of specific courses. Most courses are offered on a regular rotation, although some elective offerings may be more intermittent. Therefore it is essential that students work closely with the department in the design and maintenance of their individual degree plans.
