Company Profile

Nova Southeastern University

Company Overview

Nova Southeastern University is the largest private research university in Florida, recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as an R1 institution for the highest level of research activity. NSU is also honored with the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification and designated as an Opportunity College and University — national distinctions that reflect our mission to make a meaningful impact.

Company History

Nova Southeastern University was founded in 1964 as Nova University of Advanced Technology, a graduate research institution rooted in the physical and social sciences. Initially located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, the university later moved to the former site of Forman Field—a World War II auxiliary airfield that had been returned to the community to be used for educational purposes—in Davie.

Over time we’ve added programs in law, education, business, psychology, engineering and computing, and oceanography, and have become nationally recognized for our innovative distance education programs. Today, field-based programs are located on regional campuses throughout Florida, across the country, and at selected international sites.

In 1994, Nova University merged with Southeastern University of Health Sciences, which had added colleges of Pharmacy, Optometry, Allied Health, Medical Sciences, and Dental Medicine, to form Nova Southeastern University. And it didn’t stop there. Through five decades of explosive growth, NSU’s reputation for academic excellence and innovation continues to flourish.

Today, NSU is classified as a research university with “high research activity” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is one of only 50 universities to also be awarded Carnegie’s Community Engagement Classification. We are also the largest private, not-for-profit institution in the United States that meets the U.S. Department of Education’s criteria as a Hispanic-serving institution.

We're proud of our past, and excited for the future as we continue to adapt and thrive.
