Many programs also require science coursework to have been completed within roughly the last 5–10 years, so check recency as well as completion.

How long is the Nova Southeastern University (Centennial) program?

About 27 months of full-time study. CAA programs run continuously with heavy clinical time, so most students can't work meaningfully during them.

Roughly $70k per year in tuition on the figures we have, before fees and living costs. Budget across the full program length, not a single year.

Does Nova Southeastern University (Centennial) use CASAA?
