Hi, there. You might want to try the search function (upper right hand of the page) because there have been other Nova discussions in the past. Perhaps there is some info on theoretical orientation. Be prepared, though, some do not regard the program very highly in general (I personally think the class sizes and amount of debt incurred from there is criminal) so be prepared.

Hello,

I’m an undergrad and plan to apply to grad school in three years. I just finished my list of schools.

You're applying in THREE YEARS and you think you finished your list of schools? Your interests may change, faculty may switch programs/ not be taking students.

Also, I second the suggestion to search on the forums for Nova.

I don't really know the psychodynamic folks very well, so I can't comment on them as a group. I took a class with one maybe 4-5 years ago, and I thought it was very interesting and I learned a lot. The tricky thing about psychodynamic training is that it really does take some time to learn. I think pursuing additional training and mentorship at a psychoanalytic institute is probably a better idea. It isn't a comment on specific faculty or a specific program, but learning any psychodynamically-focused approach is most likely more time consuming than learning CBT, DBT, etc.

As for NSU...same comments as most: Good faculty, poor funding, etc.
