The applied professional experience is one of the many practical applications included in the interdisciplinary arts specialization. It is the final step in the completion of the program. It requires that candidates conceive, write, create, and produce an original event to be marketed for public performance, under the guidance of advising faculty members. The event can take on any form deemed to encompass some aspect of performance, exhibition, or artistic presentation that demonstrates excellence in the interdisciplinary arts. All applied professional experiences are accompanied by portfolios detailing the rationale, process, and evaluation of the project.

Faculty members for the master of science in education are recognized scholars and educators from Nova Southeastern University and other major universities and institutions throughout the country. In addition, many are also highly respected professional practitioners. They are carefully selected on the basis of their subject expertise, teaching abilities, and professional involvement. Most important, they are united in their desire to not only educate, but to inspire students to use what they learn to inspire others.
