" l n I \ I RN N I V R SIT Y Nova Southeastern's Center for Computer and Information Sciences (CCIS) has become a major force in educational innovation. It is distinguished by its ability [Q offer both traditional and nontradi, tionai cho ices in educational programs and formats that enable the professional to pursue an advanced degree without career interruption. Consistent with Nova Southeastern's philosophy and mission, programs of the Center are designed to provide a high-quality education that keeps pace with rapidly changing profess ional and academic needs. T aday, CCIS facul ty and staff serve the educational needs of undergraduate and graduate students throughout the United States via a range of programs and specializations. Degrees offered by the Center include the B.S., M.S .. Ph.D., and EdD. Nova Southeastern University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges o f the Southern A ssociation of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, master's, educat ional specia list, and doctOral degrees. Because N ova Southeastern has undergone scrutiny ro meet regu lat ions in some 30 states, it is among the most evaluated universit ies in the country. o (Specifics provided under each program descript ion.) Doctoral programs operate on six,monrh semesters and involve core courses, projects and a dissertation. Each course and project requires six months to complete. Programs combine a carefully balanced mixture of tradi tional and nontraditional instruction. Depending on the program and options available, studen[S sit for instruction at quarterly cluster meetings or twice,yearly institutes at the university. Cluster meetings are held on extended weekends (Friday, Saturday, and half-day Sunday). Institutes are week, long meetings, usually held in January and July. Clusters and institutes bring together students and facu lty (or courses, discuss ions, and dissertation/MARP counseling. Computer,based activities include e-mail communications , teleconferences, Nova's electronic library, and N ova's infQrmation retrieval service. The Imemet is also used extensively in supper( o f student research and computer-mediated communication with experts and fellow students throughout the world. Students may begin their programs at the start of any six,month semester. Applicams must have a master's degree or be admitted imo a combined master's/ doctoral program . 3- !29194 This program is designed to meet the specific needs of working professionals in education and training. It has three areas of specialization, each leading to the Ph.D. or EdD. degree. Computer education is designed for educators and concentrates on the use of computers and other forms of advanced technology to improve cognition. The computing systems in education specialization is designed for educators and systems administrators. It focuses on computing systems that support the educational process. Training and learning addresses the role of computing and other forms of technology in training processes in the commercial/industrial setting. (See catalog for specialization requirements.) The program requires 64 semester hours of which 40 are required courses and projects. Application of Authoring Systems to Curriculum Design Computer Application of Learning Theory Computer-based Research and Statistics Human-Computer Interaction Multimedia and Emerging Technologies Courseware and Educational Programming Languages Telecommunications and Computer Networks Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems Management of Computing Resources Systems Analysis for Instructional Computing Systems Appl ied Database Management System Research and Statist ics (Also see Program Fannats (General).) Each student must complete eight core courses (seven for computer education), four projects, and a dissertation or major applied research project (MARP). During the first two years of the program, the student completes the core courses and four projects by registering for two 3-credit core courses and one 4-credit project course each semester. The student attends either four cluster meetings or two institutes annually. During the third year, swdents register for the dissertation or MARP.
