Empower Others to Reach Their Potential
Millions of children and adults in the United States have one or more developmental disabilities. Like anyone else, they deserve access to programs and services that help them lead full, active lives. You can help empower them.
A Master of Science in Developmental Disabilities at NSU will make a difference in your life, while you make a difference in the lives of others. You’ll learn from faculty with professional expertise outside of the classroom and have hands-on opportunities to work with a diverse population of individuals – from the young child to the senior adult. Your coursework will arm you with the knowledge you need to champion for solutions, so you can make a lasting impact.
Upon completion of the program, you’ll be prepared to pursue a rewarding career in human services, applied behavior analysis, child life, non-profit leadership, advocacy, education, and nursing fields. Many graduates go on to pursue doctoral-level training in related human services fields.
