MASTER'S DEGREE IN NILD EDUCATIONAL THERAPY THROUGH REGENT UNIVERSITY

Thank you for interest in the NILD Educational Therapy program.

Please see the Approved Degree Plan for the NILD Educational Therapy Master’s degree. This will give you an overview of the course requirements and how the Levels I, II and III fit into the 32 credit program. Although Levels I, II and III are taken for four credits each, please be aware that Regent University accepts three of the four credits per course for transfer to be applied to the program. This is because Regent University has a policy of accepting a maximum of 9 credits that can be applied to a 32 credit program. The courses need to have been taken for graduate credit in order to be eligible to be transferred to the program. The program is housed under the Individualized Degree Plan (IDP). When applying to the program please apply to the Individualized Degree Plan and make a note of interest in the Educational Therapy concentration. Questions, please contact Pattie Perry at pattieperry@nild.org.

"Last fall, I began a M.Ed. with an emphasis on NILD educational therapy from Regent. Due to time constraints, I can only do one class a semester. The fall class and current class have been well worth the financial investment. Additionally, everyone I have needed to interact with at the school has been most gracious and helpful. I am pretty "technology challenged". Professors, library staff, administration and help desk have gone out of their way to help me as needed. Education at a Christian school is such a blessing." Kayleen Nichols-Professionally Certified Educational Therapist (PCET)
